"It's true that you cannot risk telling people with an immature or dualistic consciousness about the Great Indwelling before they have actually experienced it, because they will always abused it or trivialize it for purposes of superiority, libertinism, or control....
Catholics and Orthodox make the Holy Spirit dependent on membership and sacraments; Protestants make the Spirit dependent on a personal decision or faith as a technique. In both cases , we are back in charge; we are the doers."
~ Richard Rohr. The Naked Now
