I'm a Liberal, Panentheistic, Religious Pluralist. I don't accept absolute formulas for living. No preconceived code can see ahead everything that happens in life. As we live, we grow and our beliefs change. I think we should live with this constant discovery and be open to this adventure, in heightened awareness of living, staking our whole existence on our willingness to explore. Non foras ire, in interiore homine habitat veritas. (Go not without, for within man dwells the truth.)
Perhaps we are at last coming to see that our most deadly enemy is fear. We are frightened almost to death by our ingenious hostility, which has wired the earth for genocide. We cannot conquer that enemy; we can only be delivered from it by love in the form of trust. Ghandi knew that the only safe way to overcome an enemy is to make the enemy a friend. Are we capable of receiving the gift on which the cure depends?
