In my opinion, most organized religion does neither agentic service nor relational nurturance very well.

The human ego prefers anything, just about anything, to falling, or changing, or dying. The ego is that part of you that loves the status quo – even when it's not working. It attaches to past and present and fears the future.

Jesus is the very concrete truth revealing and standing in for the universal truth.

Prayer is sitting in the silence until it silences us, choosing gratitude until we are grateful, and praising God until we ourselves are an act of praise.

We do not think ourselves into new ways of living, we live ourselves into new ways of thinking.

Sin happens whenever we refuse to keep growing.

Our job as humans is to make admiration of others and adoration of God fully conscious and deliberate.
