> This is precisely the type of thing I am getting at here. The Road Less Traveled quite literally changed my life. M. Scott Peck is a wonderfully gifted soul, his words spoke so many of the vague and undefined thoughts and beliefs I had been trying to define all my life. Interesting quote, though. I don't remember that one from the book, and I am not sure of the context of that quote. As I read the book, I understood Peck's religious leanings as being very non-traditional and very non-Catholic. Or maybe I should say his views are way beyond Catholicism. What born-and-bred practicing Catholic could ever come to terms with the idea that we are all "gods in training?" I saw in his words a definite expansion from traditional Christianity into the realms of the metaphysical, which is the same spiritual path my soul has been taking.
> In Scott Peck's book, The Road Less Traveled, he said he owed the success of his practice to the Cathoic religion. :) I understand what you are trying to get going here Trey...I constanty waver between accepting my "illness" as a biochemical imbalance of the brain" and wondering if the answer lies within my wounded soul. The answer to both is yes, no doubt.
