The Acid Diaries (Christopher Gray) / quote 122 of 125

In the end there is only Grace

The bitterness and sense of betrayal (the recourse to smack or fundamentalist Buddhism) are totally in accord with Underhill’s descriptions of the Dark Night. For only true self-obliteration—the old medieval self-naughting—can leave us totally, unconditionally open for the final stage of religious life, total surrender to the will of God. Is there any other way we can learn that, in the end, there is only Grace?
