When The Church Listens To The Holy

Prayer Means That The Total You Is Praying. Your Whole Being Reaches Out To God, And God Reaches Down To You.

In Our Ashrams Of East And West, Places Of Spiritual Retreat, We Begin With What We Call "the Morning Of The Open Heart," In Which We Tell Our Needs. . . . We Give Four Or Five Hours To This Catharsis. The Reaction Of One Member, Who Listened To It For The First Time, Was: "good Gracious, Have We All The Disrupted People In The Country Here?" My Reply Was: "no, You Have A Cross Section Of The Church Life Honestly Revealed." In The Ordinary Church, It Is Suppressed By Respectability, By A Desire To A Appear Better Than We Really Are.

God Doesn't Have Any Grandchildren.

We Are Personalities In The Making, Limited, And Grappling With Things Too High For Us. Obviously We, At Very Best, Will Make Many Mistakes, But These Mistakes Need Not Be Sins.

If You Find Something That Gets Hold Of You In The Word, Pass It On To Somebody That Very Day.
