When, therefore, we speak to you of God,
we mean your own conception of God.
This applies, too, to other spiritual expressions
which you find in this book.
Do not let any prejudice you may have against spiritual terms
deter you from honestly asking yourself
what they mean to you.
At the start, this was all we needed
to commence spiritual growth,
to effect our first conscious relation with God
as we understood Him. . .
. . but if we wished to grow we had to begin somewhere.
So we used our own conception, however limited it was.

Thought to Ponder....

Scales of pride and prejudice fell from my eyes.
