"Many religions have been brought to this land. And the way my
religion is, they teach me, and they taught me, and told me to respect all
religions. And I still do that." Horace
Axtell Nez
Perce Much to our
relief, we discovered we did not need to consider another's conception of
God. Our own conception, however inadequate, was sufficient to make the
approach and to effect a contact with Him. As soon as we admitted the
possible existence of a Creative Intelligence, a Spirit of the Universe
underlying the totality of things, we began to be possessed of a new sense
of power and direction, provided we took other simple steps. We found that
God does not make too hard terms with those who seek Him. To us, the Realm
of Spirit is broad, roomy, all inclusive; never exclusive or forbidding to
those who earnestly seek. It is open, we believe, to all
men. Big Book pg.
