Finding That 2 %.

IF Fourth Way principles are 100% right and workable, then… IF the principles of Fourth Way teaching are 75% right, then we need to give particular attention to them. IF this teaching is 50% true, careful attention needs to be given. IF we find only 25%, we still need to seriously consider the parts of it that might enrich our lives. As for me, even IF it were but 2% worthwhile, I will look for that 2% that I might become a better person.

A good read for the beginner is, Girard Haven’s, “The Prize is Eternity”. It is short, easier to read and has a good glossary. This book has helped me better understand a few of the concepts that were a struggle for me. My childhood, fundamentalist, evangelical, upbringing still plays a part in my thinking and I tend to challenge about everything new. When an idea becomes part of my belief system, it is often tested even after the fact. An open minded, optimistically guarded approach works well with me.
