You *are* human, Jeff.  You are a spirit incarnate in the material world.

If you feel attracted to a particular woman, perhaps that IS a sign from God,
for is not God's will incarnate in your spirit?  As long as you are listening
to your spirit rather than your body, you *are* on the correct path, no?

But you may learn more from having deep relationships with persons who have
major disagreements with you.

I recommend that you stop searching outwardly for God, and instead turn
inward to your own spirit.  There is the answer.  You will NOT find YOUR
answers OUTSIDE yourself.
