THE NEW ERA

Now, our bodies are our Temples, our souls are our windows, our minds are guides, our animal instincts are our sacrifices. We cannot offer physical sacrifices a few times a day, but we can pray a few times a day. We cannot attend Temple a few times a day, but we can tap into our souls a few times a day. We cannot atone for our shortcomings by sacrificing animals, but we can sacrifice our inner animals—our hormones, our lusts, our desires, our beastly compulsions.

We must find God in us. This was God’s Master Plan. By exchanging a sweeping, dramatic outdoor concert of public spirituality for an internal, personal, private experience, God was bringing Himself even closer to humanity, laying the groundwork for the real Temple—an age that will synthesize God’s presence inside our hearts and minds and in the world around us in a totally new era.
