The following comes from page 37 and 38. "To have all men believe alike would be
a great tragedy. Progress would cease. The spiritual struggle would be over.
Life would hardly be life. The more we know, the more we know we do not know.
This is what gives life spice. In fact, in order to grow, we must daily become
more humble and honest in admitting the paucity of our knowledge. This humble
admission of ignorance is what produces progress, what keeps man searching, what
makes life as we know it exciting and challenging.
Gaining knowledge is like working a quarry. As we chip out bits of
information, the mining face gets larger and larger. The more knowledge we gain
the more we can see the extent of the unknown. As we grow in knowledge, we grow
in humility. this may be just as true in studying the soul as in the
investigations pursued by natural sciences.
A man or woman pursuing the humble way to God could adopt a credo similar
to the following:
God is billions of stars in the Milky Way and He is much more.
God is billions of billions of stars in other galaxies and He is much
more.
Time and space and energy are all part of God, and He is much more.
The awesome mysteries of magnetism, gravity, light, knowledge,
imagination, memory, love, faith, gratitude, and joy are all part of God and He
is much more.
God is five billion people on Earth and He is much more.
God is untold billions of beings on planets of millions of other stars
and He is much more.
God is all the things seen and also the vastly greater abundance of
things unseen by man.
Men who dwell in three dimensions can comprehend only a little part of
God's multitude of dimension.
God is the only reality - all else is fleeting shadow and imagination
from our very limited five senses acting on our tiny brains.
God is beginning to create His universe and allows each of the children
to participate in some small ways in this creative evolution.
God is the infinitely large and also the infinitely small - He is each of
our inmost thoughts, each of our trillions of bodily cells, and each of the
billions of wave patterns which are each cell.
God is all of you and you are a little part of Him."
And on page 48: "Differing concepts of God have developed in different
cultures. No one should say that God can be reached by only one path. Such
exclusiveness lacks humility because it presumes that we can and do comprehend
God. The humble person is ready to admit and welcome the various manifestations
of God."
believe that God uniquely revealed himself at a certain point and time in
history in the person of Jesus.
