Our world is quite cruel and wounds souls with its harshness; we need to respond first of all with down-to-earth Christian love and understanding, leaving accounts of hesychasm and advanced forms of prayer to those capable of receiving them.

No other government in the history of the world had launched itself without the help of officially recognized gods and their state connected ministers." Disestablishment was the clear and unambiguous choice of the framers of the Constitution, most of whom were also serious Christians.
Indeed, the conspiracist views of Reconstructionist writers (focusing on the United Nations and the Council on Foreign Relations, among others) are consistent with those of the John Birch Society.

Whereas a veritable religious point of view is expressed with marvellous aphoristical briefness in the Mrityu-lângala-Upanishad: „I am not in the time, but I am time itself.“ With the Indian, religion is never a sought-after explanation of external, temporal things, but instead a symbolic organization of internal, unmechanical, timeless experience.
