Editor,
Some years ago, I was introduced to a book “The Ultimate Revolution” by Walter Starke, published in 1969. It helped me change my life as I contemplated, especially, the portion of his writing I share here. See what you think.
“This is a revolution to reveal the whole man. It won’t be won by logic alone. It won’t be won by anything alone. Faith without action won’t succeed. Action without logic won’t succeed. Logic without faith won’t succeed.
Mystics refer to the third and fourth dimension of life. Everyday ‘down to earth’ level of life, phenomenal, is third dimensional. Everything labeled is third. Fourth dimension is the spiritual, the total, the infinite. Everything comprehended in its pure “beingness,” in its oneness and unity. Thinking is limited to third dimension. Fourth dimension is, like God, something that can be experienced but not thought about, for thoughts always limit.
We get the two confused. Our spiritual instinct senses reality in the fourth dimension, but our minds try to find it in the third. God exists in the fourth, but we keep trying to see God with a third dimensional understanding. We try to find God in war, in government, in establishment, but these things are part of our man-of-the-world self. We keep trying to bring God down to this level, when the only way God can be experienced is to take this level up to God by refusing to judge it in terms of good and bad. Then the Oneness can be experienced.”
