“Humans have fashioned the relationship with God into a vertical pattern, in adherance to their desire for hierarchy. The higher on this vertical pattern they perceive themselves to be, the better they feel they are in comparison to others. But they have lost before they have even begun! For the relationship with God is a horizontal pattern, not a vertical one. The only true religion is what manifests in how we treat our fellow people, animals, and the world we have been gifted with. The only relationship with God is born in our relationship with what is horizontal, what is parallel, to us.”
