Commentaries on
The Attack: What I Witnessed on the Inner Plane
Initial comment by Editor:
You may note that both Spangler and Atwater refer to the souls as making a sacrifice
to the world for purposes of a better life.
In general I was heartened to read Atwater's article, but how often is an
intuitive response ruined by the little waves of personal prejudice that
filter in... I refer primarily to the statement that anyone who uses
drugs for non-medical purposes is directly responsible for evil happening
in the future... oh please!
You cannot reduce behaviour and personal decisions into such a black and
white statement. I can only think that the stress of the moment got in
the way of an otherwise excellent article.

Indeed, this is a harsh and yet necessary wake up call. It's also possible that
more may be needed.
Here is a quote from BBC News article published on Friday, 14 September, 2001: "Cantor grieves for lost staff"
which, I believe, explains why we may need more wake up calls.
"The attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center have traumatised America and the world. But for the
employees of one company, the nightmare could not be darker. Shaking and sobbing, Howard Lutnick tells of the devastation
his company has suffered.
He is the chief executive of Cantor Fitzgerald, a bond trading firm handling trillions of dollars every year. One
thousand of its staff worked on floors 101-05 of the North Tower of the World Trade Center, close to the point
where the first plane hit.
Now 700 people are missing, among them Mr Lutnick's brother.
"I do not know of one of my employees who got down - zero," sobs chief executive Howard Lutnick. Mr Lutnick
only survived because he took his son to school that morning.
But despite the anguish, the remaining 300 workers have insisted on staying open for business. "Out of 300
people that have lost their friends - they lost the person to their left, they lost the person to their right -
and they call me up and say they want to go to work. "I say 'why do you want to go to work. Let's just go
to funerals'. "And they say 'no, I can not stay home, I have to work I have to do something.'"
Despite all this horror some people are still, sound asleep.
Sincerely yours,
Mariusz Hadam
