Rev. Charles Neal, in 1976, expressed it in this way: The nature of the Universe is to evolve. This is true of every part including rocks, mineral, plants, animals and man. This is also true of the very essence of the Universe, which is consciousness. Consciusness has been present in every stage. It is God-Mind seeking to express Itself as perfection. Consciusness evolves along with every other element.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge(1772-1834) said that the truth of religion is found in the way to answers the deepest needs of a man’s spirit.

But among the fifty million Americans who now claim to have born again, alcoholism is very rare.
