“Surely God loves to get out of church buildings and go visit people where they hunger for reality.”
― Dylan Morrison, The Prodigal Prophet

“When I look back on my life I come to one simple conclusion: there exists an intelligent, loving Presence in the Cosmos that will ultimately have its desire for relationship with us fulfilled; even our arrogant dismissal of its existence will not stop it in its tracks. The Enlightenment's god, the great idol of free will, lies smashed in pieces in its wake. The jealous Presence patiently draws us homeward like some gigantic electromagnetic beam. The Death Star in reverse. This divinity is, I believe, the 'Abba' of Jesus, a transcendence that will not be boxed in by religious misrepresentation...”
― Dylan Morrison, The Prodigal Prophet

“In retrospect, I now believe this expected donation of ten percent of income to the Fellowship was based on bad exegesis of an old Jewish taxation law that Jesus Himself seemed to completely ignore.”
― Dylan Morrison, The Prodigal Prophet

“The message of the Nazarene had been turned into a weapon in some religious power game. 'Look how they love one another' just didn't seem an apt description of the bizarre religious theatre I'd just witnessed.”
― Dylan Morrison, The Prodigal Prophet

“So then, what exactly is freedom? Is it the ability to remain unaffected by an other, whether an individual, group, nation, or indeed, an ideology. How can such a Utopian freedom be attained? Thankfully, Newton's theoretical formula comes to our rescue! If we dwell in close proximity to an individual or group with a strong gravitational mass then it's extremely difficult to maintain our individual sense of freedom. Mathematics would suggest that the only way to diminish the imprisoning pull is to distance oneself from the physical proximity of the transmitter in question. Even a little separation will produce a significantly reduced mimetic force, one granting us a much needed taste of freedom.”

“We needn't be afraid of giving such Love away for it appears to follow the rules of Quantum Physics. If we give it away, it grows and multiplies within, surely the message of Yeshua's miracle feedings in the Gospel accounts.”

“Some of us believe that by buying into a new brand of religious belief, all shall be well. Yet, by scapegoating our old religious system, we only repeat the blame games of bygone days We can't detach from our moral murderer within, no matter how loving our new, spiritual world view. The”

“The Nazarene's resulting resurrection experience heralded a reunified humanity whose traumatic split from Divine Source was lost in the illusory mists of time. The space-time epoch of separation was finally over; indeed, had it ever really existed within the Kingdom realm of Spirit? Oneness with Yeshua's, Abba God, was clearly revealed as the Alpha and Omega of Ultimate Reality.”
― Dylan Morrison, Way Beyond The Blue

“How then can we resist the power of such a Love? The answer is simple: We can't. Our ego arrogance may suggest that we can, but in reality we're just deluding ourselves. Whether in this life or the next it will conquer us by its boundless mercy.”
― Dylan Morrison, Way Beyond The Blue

“This fascination with violence always involves our base religious instincts, evidenced by our  automatic search for a victim to blame. The alternative, a careful examination of our own internal desire conflicts, is too painful for our wounded psyche to contemplate. Searching out potential victims via the mass media or within our close-knit circles, we're acting out of our own myth narrative: that fantastical story which constantly reassures us that we won’t be the next scapegoat. This fear of being the burnt offering to come, is the essence of all religious thought and practice. The distant, transcendent god has laws that must be adhered too at all costs. To break them is to incur a death sentence, either figuratively or literally: the scapegoat selection that none of us yearn for.”
― Dylan Morrison, Matrix Messiah

“The answer to this often hidden angst within the human heart, is to observe the unity of all things and to leave behind the dualistic specs through which we view our lives. If, as quantum theory suggests, we are, at our irreducible minimum, just a bunch of conscious energy, then we're already one with the energy field of creation and indeed the Divine Father Himself.”
― Dylan Morrison, Way Beyond The Blue

“We religious folk are very wary of subjective feelings due to our programming by teachers who themselves are often frigid to the Divine approach. Easier to read a Holy book than open oneself to the Divine touch.”
― Dylan Morrison, Way Beyond The Blue

“Father, forgive them for they are not being aware of anything they are doing.”
― Dylan Morrison, Way Beyond The Blue
