M. Scott Peck Quotes

"I have said that the ultimate goal of spiritual growth is for the individual to become as one with God ... It is for the individual to become totally, wholly God." The Road Less Traveled

God wants us to become Himself (or Herself or Itself). The Road Less Traveled

"Zen Buddhism should be taught in every 5th grade class in America." (see page 59 A Time of Departing)

"If the New Age can reform society rather than just adversely challenge it then it can be extremely holy and desperately needed."
Further Along the Road Less Traveled

"Since the unconscious is God all along, we may further define the goal of spiritual growth to be the attainment of godhood by the conscious self"

"Truth in religion is characterized by inclusivity and paradox. Falsity in religion can be detected by its one-sidedness and failure to integrate the whole." from A Different Drum

Contemplative Spirituality: A belief system that uses ancient mystical practices to induce altered states of consciousness (the silence) and is rooted in mysticism and the occult but often wrapped in Christian terminology. The premise of contemplative spirituality is pantheistic (God is all) and panentheistic (God is in all). Common terms used for this movement are "spiritual formation," "the silence," "the stillness," "ancient-wisdom," "spiritual disciplines," and many others.

Spiritual Formation: A movement that has provided a platform and a channel through which contemplative prayer is entering the church. Find spiritual formation being used, and in nearly every case you will find contemplative spirituality. In fact, contemplative spirituality is the heartbeat of the spiritual formation movement.
