“It is not difficult to be a revolutionary when revolution has already broken out and is in spate, when all people are joining the revolution just because they are carried away, because it is the vogue, and sometimes even from careerist motives.

“For Jesus, it is clear, poverty is not the problem; it is the solution. Until human beings learn to live in naked contact and direct simplicity and equality with each other, sharing all resources, there can be no solution to the misery of the human condition and no establishment of God's kingdom.

If you would have good health then you must imagine this as vividly as you fearfully imagine ill health.” IfsGivingRealityGivenTermImaginationResultsWatchesEnvironmentImagineConditionsLonelinessHealthCircumstancesExpectationsDirectPaintIllDesperateOur EnvironmentGood HealthIll Health Author:Seth
