Gods exist to meet man's need for someone to blame, to defer to, to worship;
something lying on a greater plane, beyond our bounded existence;
something to explain the mysteries beyond our comprehension;
someone to whom we can appeal when all other hope is gone.

Divinity is what calls us beyond self-interest and egotism.
to the challenge of selfless sacrifice;
the way that Jesus showed us.

It is the lure of the Divine Whisper which can lead us
from the complacency of self-centred secularism
towards the pathway that Jesus pioneered.

The Spiral of Purity can then tempt us
to formulate our ideas as a Religion, drawing others in;
making an idol of our own conceptions of spirituality,
taking us to radical extremes beyond divine reality.

The power of divinity must lie in unremitting goodness
not in the instant fix of the magical miraculous.
For holy moments may be a fleeting wonder,
but holiness goes on and on.
