Genuine Communion
“When someone disagrees with me, I do not have to immediately start revising what I just said. People don’t want me to always agree with them. They can sense this is phony. They can sense I am trying to control them: I am agreeing with them to make them like me. They feel; ‘I don’t want to exist to like you. I DON’T exist to like you.”
–Hugh Prather (American Writer, Minister, Spiritually-oriented Counselor and Writer in the Field of Personal Growth and Relationships, 1938-2010)
“Notes to Myself: My Struggle to Become a Person” (Hugh Prather)
Finding Enlightenment
“We cannot win enlightenment for ourselves unless we are seeking it for all. Equally, however, we cannot be loving and kind to others, unless we are the same to ourselves.”
–Hugh l’Anson Fausset (English Writer, Literary Critic, Biographer,Poet and Scholar, 1895-1965)
