     In his  sermon  entitled  "Accept  Acceptance" in his
collection  of  sermons  "The  Shaking of the Foundations"
Paul  Tillich  points  to ways in  which  acceptance  into
unconditional dialogue is important,  demonstrated by true
lovers,  points to the ultimate power in the cosmos,   and
threatens  evil relationships with healing.   Why do we so
often  reject such acceptance,  and how do we reject  such
acceptance?

     We need to accept acceptance and relax.

     Only then can we:

       Enjoy shalom.
        Be thankful and reverent.
         Be hospitable and civil.
          Be cooperative and healthy.

           Recognize gracious contexts where there is no
           need to be defensive.

            Be willing to let go of all defenses in Love.

             Be generous with neighbors in Love.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
