“Immiscible with the Congregation I am a drop of oil in this bucket of water. We are immiscible about the immutability, Infallibility, and inerrancy of their ideas. They live in the polarities of good and bad, heaven and hell, a god and a devil, Christian and not. But life is too nuanced, history too complex; my mind is too neutral to mix. Are there any more drops of oil in here? Someone that has actually looked into the water and can’t be mixed into the multitude? Each week, the congregation is baptized in the idea that everyone needs an outside entity. What I need is to know myself. To be aware of the arising of the mind. To notice what is appearing and to watch it dissipate. To know that I am not the trail of thoughts that I get caught in. I need to watch thoughts arise, To let them go, and to pay attention to the thread. What I need is not outside, but it’s not necessarily inside either; it is the awareness itself of what is happening in both places. What I need is what is. That is my salvation. That is what I need. I am saved with each moment that I am aware. Amen.”

“Repentance is the change of mind, the former way of thinking, which will cause man to bitterly regret his past life and gradually build a defensive wall of resistance against sin.”
