Ultimate Seriousness

If people tell you, “I have no ultimate concern,” . . . then ask them, . . . “What, for instance, would you be ready to suffer or even die for?” ~Paul Tillich, Ultimate Concern: Tillich in Dialogue, D. Mackenzie Brown http://tinyurl.com/3avfwo

H. Richard Niebuhr and Ken Wilber, et al., have shared Tillich’s understanding of “ultimate concern” as at the heart of the universal spirit journey. We all are devoted to some “god” or something that we take with ultimate seriousness. ~jpc

Best we figure it out, name it, and serve it . . . or something greater. Namaste.
