The Mysterious Source

IN MY opinion, one of the most potent sentences in our literature reads: "Some of us have tried to hold on to our old ideas and the result was nil until we let go absolutely." Probably the oldest of our old ideas are those we have about spiritual things--values, experiences, practices, and most of all, our relation to the Spirit. As soon as we try to put a label on things of the spirit, we fall back into the "old ideas" and limit the spiritual to the knowledge we have gained, or might gain, on the sensory, emotional, intellectual levels.
