Words... We are only in a prison if we think we are. There is no prison. There is only life and you can imagine it a prison, or call it a prison, but imo, that does not make it a prison. A prison is, of course, whatever you define it to be. Why would anyone want to define themselves into a prison in the first place? Silly Morphius. All language is stagnant compared to thought. Any new mysticism is just going to be more mysticism, and will be stagnant the minute it is formed. Free thought outruns stagnation, I think. The need for the miraculous seems to me to generally be code words for a longing to return to mysticism and a rejection of the illusive nature of reality. Which may or may not be miraculous, again depending on how you define the words words words.

THE SCRIPTURES The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The New Covenant, as recorded in the New Testament, we accept as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine. (II Tim. 3:16, I Thess. 2:13, II Peter 1:21).
