A number of years ago in reference to the book of Revelation, I wrote "The Ouzo Prophecy" (http://church-of-ouzo.com/pdf/ouzo-prophecy.pdf) under somewhat mystical conditions, having no religious or philosophical background or interest. A critique editor at Writer's Digest said, "I read your paper, re-read it, and then read it again. The average person wouldn't know what you're talking about, what the point is, what you're trying to say." I had earlier received a number of replies from Biblical scholars who said they simply didn't understand the paper. I thought they were just trying to be kind by not giving me their honest opinion. I then sent the paper to the Spiritual Counterfeits Project, confident that I would not receive a similar response. Their reply (http://church-of-ouzo.com/pdf/spiritual-counterfeits.pdf) was itself mystical in nature, and is the only positive response I have ever received. I came across your forum on the Internet, and thought the paper might be of some interest to you. Thank you for any comments you may be able to offer.

Sincerely,

Robert Merlin Evenson
