"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. 46 When we drew near to Him He disclosed Himself to
us! Big Book
