Slide deck from message four in the Commonway Church fall 2011 Awaken series.

3. I still think the least explored territory is
humanity, both collective and individual.
It’s not physical territory, I know, but
where is there more fearful darkness or
illuminating beauty than in the depths of
the person sitting next to you on a bus?
Where is there more evil and more beauty
than in the unexplored cosmos of a
human being?

4. I wonder if you might take a walk tonight
after dinner with someone, and take the
submarines down for a dive. Who are they?
What do they love? What are they afraid of?
Do they understand their own power? Do
they know that somebody is after their
beauty? And that they have beauty in the
first place? Do they know they are worth
exploring?

22. Do you know, if Jesus were alive today, he'd be
here in the Walled City sitting on the orange
boxes talking to the pimps & prostitutes down
there in the mud? .... That's where he spent a
lot of his time. In the streets with well‐known
criminals — not in a neat clean church
waiting for the nice guys to turn up.

32. It is a serious thing to live in a
society of possible gods and
goddesses, to remember that the
dullest and most uninteresting
person you talk to may one day be a
creature which, if you saw it now,
you would be strongly tempted to
worship, or else a horror and a
corruption such as you now meet, if
at all, only in a nightmare.

33. All day long we are, in some degree,
helping each other to one or other
of these destinations. It is in the
light of these overwhelming
possibilities, it is with the awe and
the circumspection proper to them,
that we should conduct all our
dealings with one another, all
friendships, all loves, all play, all
politics. There are no ordinary
people. You have never talked to a
mere mortal.
