"As a former professor of education, I tend to critique instructors rather severely. However, Carl McColman, in my opinion, ranks as one of the all-time great instructors. He has an unbelievable mastery of his subject matter & an uncanny ability to translate esoteric matter into understandable form. On top of that, he's very personable. This is my second Evening at Emory Class with Carl and I will sign up for any class that he teaches!"

Yes.
If there is any aspect that deserves to be included in a “reward hereafter,” that belongs there as well as here–that qualifies to begin here and grow and overflow and spill into the hereafter–it is this delight and love of the supreme good, this full and pure heart of joy in God. This is truly the fruit of the Spirit–against such there is no law. This holy joy is welcome anywhere, at any time, “on earth as it is in heaven.”
Amen.
Oh, Yes!
One of the mystics…was it Theresa of Avila? Said “All the way to heaven is heaven.” Perhaps this is what she meant…
Yes, the search for the Divine is in the seeking and in the seeking is the Divine. It is in the journey to the mountain top that we become one with God the true reward is in the relationship. Knowing God, Ahhhhhhhh!
