The psychologists and the theologians, the poets and the mystics, assure us that impasse can be the condition for creative growth and transformation … IF the ego does not demand understanding in the name of control and predictability….
It is only in the process of bringing the impasse to prayer, to the perspective of the God who loves us, that our society will be freed, healed, changed, brought to paradoxical new visions, and freed for nonviolent, selfless, liberating action, freed, therefore, for community on this planet earth. Death is involved here, a dying in order to see how to be and to act on behalf of God in the world.
