Your faith arises in you just like any spiritual experience arises in any other person. The faith you put in the Bible and the stories of Jesus arise in you just as other people choose a relationship with the Divine without the need of Christian constructs. <br /><br />I invite you to consider that any person, Eckhart Tolle, you or me, all give ourselves the authority to honor our beliefs. Mr. Tolle is no more a “self-appointed guru” than you are. And identifying as SBNR is no more self-centered than believing that your faith is the one and true path for communing with the Divine. <br /><br />Steve Frazee<br />Executive Director, SBNR.org<br /><br />http://sbnr.orgSteve Frazeenoreply@blogger.com
