When Religion Speaks Only In The Name

The Idea Of Dependence Is An Explanation, Whereas Self-sufficiency Is An Unprecedented, Nonanalogous Concept In Terms Of What We Know About Life Within Nature. Is Not Self-sufficiency Itself Insufficient To Explain Self-sufficiency?

Spiritual Life Begins To Decay When We Fail To Sense The Grandeur Of What Is Eternal In Time.

We Worship God Through Our Questions.

Indeed, The Sort Of Crimes And Even The Amount Of Delinquency That Fill The Prophets Of Israel With Dismay Do Not Go Beyond That Which We Regard As Normal, As Typical Ingredients Of Social Dynamics. To Us A Single Act Of Injustice--cheating In Business, Exploitation Of The Poor--is Slight; To The Prophets, A Disaster. To Us Injustice Is Injurious To The Welfare Of The People; To The Prophets It Is A Deathblow To Existence: To Us, An Episode; To Them, A Catastrophe, A Threat To The World.

To Pray Is To Take Notice Of The Wonder, To Regain A Sense Of The Mystery That Animates All Beings, The Divine Margin In All Attainments.
