“ The collateral implications of this basic message are
radical and comprehensive. Anticipation displaces dread. Regret gives way to
equanimity. Cynicism vanishes before joy. Self-control conquers addiction.
Purpose usurps futility. Reconciliation overtakes estrangement. Inner peace
calms disquiet and distraction. Creativity banishes boredom. Death will give
way to life, darkness to light, fear to confidence, anxiety to calm, and
despair to hope. These collateral implications are something like the
fulfillment of your deepest desires, your wildest dreams, your fondest hopes,
and your secret wishes, only in this scenario your hopes, dreams, desires and
wishes originate from the heart of God rather than from the human heart curved
in on itself.”
