Reality Of The Spiritual World

And The Gathered Meeting

BY THOMAS KELLY

Brief Description:
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.
