| COME AS YOU ARE | |
|
COME AS YOU ARE. What you believe, bring with you as you come. If you have doubts bring them with you also. COME AS YOU ARE, and inescapably you must come if you would be yourself. Of others, ask no more or less. Let us be what we are as best as we can. No one is better or worse than another, for no one has lived the life of the other. ALL ARE SEEKERS, no matter how much they have found. All are in need no matter how much they resent it. All are proud no matter how humble they wish they were. Let belief, doubts, shame, pride, humility, and the inescapability of self sit side by side in mutual and self respect, until there comes the feeling that in the depth of understanding and feeling, WE ARE ONE. –from the Rev.
