There is one God. Whether we call it God, Brahman, Allah, Spirit,
or some other name, It is the Great All in which all things exist
and through which all things have been made. In this Great All "we
live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28).
There are
many paths to this One, all of which can bear the fruit of enlightenment.
Which path we follow is not as important as the fact that we are on
a path. We can each have a personal, creative relationship with this
One through our experience of life.
Philosopher
and father of psychology William James wrote, "The greatest discovery
of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering
his attitude and mind." The Bible said it this way: "Be
ye transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2). We
teach the possibility that when we change our thinking, so we change
our lives.
Our desire
to enjoy a direct experience of God is intrinsic to life. As we practice
love, prayer and service, we fulfill our destiny: to awaken God, the
Indwelling Presence, the true source of our being.
"The
only real thing is Love; everything else is just changes happening
on the way to Love." - Reverend Terry Keenan
