This Is The Risk: The Primary Word

The Historical Religions Have The Tendency To Become Ends In Themselves, And, As It Were, To Put Themselves In God's Place, And, In Fact, There Is Nothing That Is So Apt To Obscure God's Face As A Religion.

The Beating Heart Of The Universe Is Holy Joy.

It Is Usual To Think Of Good And Evil As Two Poles, Two Opposite Directions, The Antithesis Of One Another...we Must Begin By Doing Away With This Convention.

Religion Means Goal And Way, Politics Implies End And Means. The Political End Is Recognizable By The Fact That It May Be Attained--in Success--and Its Attainment Is Historically Recorded. The Religious Goal Remains, Even In Man's Highest Experiences, That Which Simply Provides Direction On The Mortal Way; It Never Enters Into Historical Consummation.

Without Being And Remaining Oneself, There Is No Love.
