    Very refreshing logic. And as you state, much as one reads in
    Bardon's texts. Franz simply went about balancing himself in the
    elements when attacked by evil. He did not retaliate. Karma, Divine
    Providence took care of retribution/striking back. We get what we
    put out. There is enough to keeping one's own house in balance.

    Thank you.
