The standpoint of the man who relies on religious experience for capturing Reality must always remain individual and incommunicable.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Man has always needed to believe in some form of a continuity of achievement.
Authentic spiritual authority is what puts you in touch with reality.
In the spiritual body moreover, man appears such as he is with respect to love and faith, for everyone in the spiritual world is the effigy of his own love, not only as to the face and the body, but also as to the speech and the actions.
The outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to reflect their inner beliefs.
If God and man are in themselves one, and if religion is the human side of this unity then must this unity be made evident to man in religion, and become in him consciousness and reality.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
Every man eventually is backed up to the wall of faith, and there he must make his stand.
I've always been a religious person.
The emotions that sustain religious belief are all, in fact, deeply ordinary and deeply recognisable to anybody who has ever made their way across the common ground of human experience as an adult.
That man is a religious being, is universally conceded, for it has been seen to be universally true.
