Primitive Christianity Revived, Again
If you find the outward ways and practices of traditionalist, conservative, evangelical, and liberal Quaker forms do not sustain, there is another way. It is the direct unmediated life in Presence. In Presence, there is no looking back and no need for a hoped future. In Presence, all is given and all is known; sufficent to sustain eternity within you in all things and circumstances. The way is simple and uncluttered by outward forms. It is a stumbling block to many. No matter what your condition or circumstance, turn inward and rest and wait upon and feel Presence no matter what you are doing and where you are (even if you find yourself in a sports stadium); just center and turn from all outward things and practices. Presence will reveal and you will know the Life and the Life will sustain. All those outward forms and forced expectations will fall away and the Life will remain. May you come to embrace Presence in all things and know life uncluttered and ever sustaining being; gathered in Presence itself so that the Life is Meeting and Meeting is no particular place but every place ... the walls are cracked and torn down.
In the sustainable inward name.
