You cannot say God is a "She." You cannot say God is an "It." (18)

When one hears the word meditation, it conjures an image of Maharishi Yoga talking about finding a mantra and striving for nirvana. The purpose of such meditation is to empty oneself.

Beware of systems of spirituality which tell you to empty yourself. You will end up filled with something you probably do not want.

We spoke to God about the children, and we were afraid to ask God for specific things. We thought that it might be too much.
