Words are merely utterances: noises that stand for feelings, thoughts, and experience. They are symbols. Signs. Insignias. They are not Truth. They are not the real thing. In fact, you place so little value on experience that when what your experience of God differs from what you've heard of God, you automatically discard the experience and own the words, when it should be just the other way around.
Neale Donald WalschI was an altar boy, I took catechism classes and religion classes, and I prayed a lot as a child. My family was very religious, and I really experienced God.
Neale Donald WalschThe truth is that there is no journey. You are right now what you are attempting to be. You are right now where you are attempting to go.
Neale Donald WalschThe moment you proclaim your Oneness with God, others will proclaim you partnership with Satan.
