    Does anyone know anything about a group that calls its
    Gentle Wind and is in Surrey, Maine. I keep getting some
    very outlandish literature from them - and seem to recall
    someone telling me that they are the spokesmen for a 
    group of discarnates who are channeling this information
    to them as a group.  
    
    The literature is very negative on almost all aspects of earth 
    civilization as we know it - they sent a 35 page brochure on
    their ideas on education which lean heavily to home schooling and
    are very down on the medical establishment, calling doctors - 
    Doctor-Investors which means to them that most medical professionals
    are in it merely for the money and that these people are simply
    blessed with excellent memories (not really the most intelligent
    among us) and a aggressive personality which fits in with their
    need to wield considerable authority over others.  
    
    In this latest report, there is an article of some length on their
    belief that adolescent girls and boys are by nature the best parents
    and that is the age that nature intended us to become parents. 
    
    Anyone have any knowledge of this group.

    It seems appropriate to say that sometimes the perceived "lunatic
    finge" elements have valid thoughts. But sometimes the packaging gets
    in the way.
    
    It's a shame that some folks perceive a need for "channels" when the
    thoughts and work are their own. They have some valid and improtant
    ideas, but hiding behind "channels' seems cowardly.

|     I don't believe that true spirit communication would manifest itself in
    promulgating such a negative viewpoint of human existence.
    
    I believe the spirit companions, teachers, and masters that are working
    with humankind for the health of Gaia and all her kingdoms are of a 
    benevolent nature and would attempt to motivate and inspire us through
    love and healing - not fear and suspicion.
    
    Reeks too much to me of other groups that preach exclusivity as being
    "the way".  Gentle Wind's intention might be for good, but the way
    they are expressing it hits me more like an "Ill Wind".
