It is possible to run the idea a negative force may be at play here, but that is all I can honestly ever determine, it is a possibility but that is all. The raw data suggests if there is evil its got an uphill battle. Ive never experienced it and so it remains a possibility but that is all. As the sacred vines presented themselves to me when they determined appropriate. It was never with the intent of being a short-cut rarther when the time was right to utilise the available gifts. just the next step.
It seems premature to make a determination on their role based on what mite be a bad outcome. Especially if it doesnt come from direct experience. If that is the case a good outcome may result in the unimaginable. An acceptable risk for me.
