Early in my life I rejected all man-made institutions. In my way of thinking at the time, this included all forms of the Christian church, As a result I was set free to roam "outside the camp." I became acquainted with the inner teachings of most of the major religions and philosophies on earth.
Now, in my later years, I am realizing that the true Christian church is the mystical body of Christ pervading the entire Cosmos. I knew that before but never so deeply and so certainly.
I also realize, on a more cognitive and less spiritual level, that a human institution is essential these days or the teachings would be scattered or lost.
"Be ye reconciled," says the scripture. So I am reconciled. Form is emptiness and emptiness is forms the Buddhists. Except in this case. Form is Fullness and Fullness is Form.
