Transfiguration

"...the Christian life is simply a process of having your

natural self changed into a Christ self, and that this

process goes on very far in time. One's most private

wishes, one's point of view, are the things that have to

be changed...As long as the old self is there its taint

will be over all we do. We try to be religious and become

pharisees. We try to be kind and become patronizing.

Social service ends in red tape of officialdom.

Unselfishness becomes a form of showing off. I don't mean

of course that we're to stop trying to be good. We've got

to do the best we can...The real cure lies far deeper.

Out of our self and into Christ we must go."
