Reality Of The Spiritual World

And The Gathered Meeting

BY THOMAS KELLY
In the first essay Thomas Kelly searches for responses to the question "How can we be sure that what we call God is not a product of our wishful thinking, a self-delusion we create, a giant shadow of our longings?" He concludes that only experiential knowledge, such as that testified by Quakers and mystics, is really valid. When we have direct experience of the Presence, "we need no argument, no proof that the sun is shining." He also talks of the need for care in discerning inward certainty of the divine. In The Gathered Meeting Kelly describes the group mysticism that occurs when "the real presence of God" is experienced in meeting for worship.

A Testament Of Devotion

BY THOMAS KELLY
"I have in mind something deeper than the simplification of our external programs, our absurdly crowded calendars of appointments through which so many pantingly and frantically gasp. These do become simplified in holy obedience, and the poise and peace we have been missing can really be found. But there is a deeper, an internal simplification of the whole of one's personality, stilled, tranquil, in childlike trust listening ever to Eternity's whisper, walking with a smile into the dark." Testament of Devotion gathers together five compelling essays that urge us to center our lives on God's presence, to find quiet and stillness within modern life.
