Reasonable acceptance, our way of living, is imperfect. But God, if God exists, must be perfect and beyond reason. - Barry Long

At the top of the ladder is awareness, or pure experience - the edge of yourself, and possibly the beginning of God.

Truth does not need argument, agreement, theories or beliefs. There is only one test for it and that is to ask yourself 'Is the statement true or false in my experience?'

If in your own experience you haven't yet learned the truth of the deception of feelings, then you just have to go on believing and thinking, having faith in the past and hope in the future, being happy today and unhappy tomorrow, but never being in command of your own life for long.
