gratification do not serve the soul, they serve
the self. Commitment can be a vital link in
the redemption, because to commit to
something greater than yourself is the first
step in committing to God's kingdom by
loving your neighbor as yourself. In so
doing, you naturally amend to the even
greater attainment of loving God with all
your heart, your soul and mind."
As I tried to explain these concepts to
the group, one among them became
especially angry, because he still believed
that making commitments was an inferior
path. Unmarried, he'd gone through life
using women to fulfill his sexual needs and
treating them unkindly. Wearing the demon
vice of the serpent penis used to denigrate
women openly, the concept of commitment
affording a higher path to his soul had never
occurred to him in his self-serving view.
Angry that the concept had been presented
to him in such a blunt manner leaving his
life bare in all its putrid filth, he was good at
using words to make his exploits seem
desirable or worthy. Lacking in true
commitment to anything in his life, his
greatest deficit remained in his lukewarm
'commitment' to God. Knowing my words
