God will bring people and events into our lives, and whatever we may think about them, they are designed for the evolution of His life in us.

The divine therapy helps us integrate our animal nature with the new possibilities of rational consciousness.

Over time we are able to undermine habitual modes of thinking formed by our self-made self in early childhood, which tries to squeeze happiness from the gratification of our desires for the symbols in our culture of survival and security, power and control, and affection and esteem.

In the Christian perspective, the love of God and of all other human beings invites us to share and enjoy not just the best of the human potential as it evolves, but participation in the divine life itself.

We're obviously at the edge of something quite new in humanity's experience. That is this globalization process which isn't just economic or social, but involves the interpenetration of cultures, people moving to different places several times in their lifetime, traveling for business or pleasure, and marrying people of very different cultural backgrounds, all of which was almost impossible a hundred years ago.

Becoming fully rational is not enough anymore; evidently it can lead to distortions of all the great human possibilities.

If one completes the journey to one's own heart, one will find oneself in the heart of everyone else.
