Howard Thurman Quotes

I Say That Creeds, Dogmas, And Theologies Are Inventions Of The Mind. It Is The Nature Of The Mind To Make Sense Out Of Experience, To Reduce The Conglomerates Of Experience To Units Of Comprehension Which We Call Principles, Or Ideologies, Or Concepts. Religious Experience Is Dynamic, Fluid, Effervescent, Yeasty. But The Mind Can't Handle These So It Has To Imprison Religious Experience In Some Way, Get It Bottled Up. Then, When The Experience Quiets Down, The Mind Draws A Bead On It And Extracts Concepts, Notions, Dogmas, So That Religious Experience Can Make Sense To The Mind.
