The Poor Proof That It Works

Back in 1972 Seattle, I met someone who invited me to chant with the Nichiren Shoshu. A young man afterward shared how he had chanted for a job and a car and how everything was going his way as if by magic because he was chanting.

In 1975 Honolulu, I was saved and taken by a friend to worship at the House of Praise in Kaimuki. There a young man afterward shared how he had prayed for a job and a car and how everything was going his way as if by magic because he was praying.

We are trained to set objectives, to plan for success, to concentrate on what we want to achieve. Because those things work. What works? Imagining. Vivid, focused, concentrated imagining. I believe that is the message of the Bible.

Almost. The message of the Bible is He Who makes it work, Who is Imagining, is real.
