October 4, 2015

In our tradition, there are two supreme commandments. 
"Love thy neighbor as thyself" applies to all our relationships with others. 
"Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, all thy soul, all thy mind and all thy strength" applies to our relationship with God. But that relationship is not with someone else's God. It is with "thy God". That relationship is with God as each of us, individually, conceives God to be.  It is our relationship with Love itself, with the Holy Spirit, with Intellect and Creativity, and with our Sources of power.  That commandment, that exhortation, that invitation, is to think and to grow.
