This is what a 16 year old asked at his first Quaker meeting ….the elder put his hand on his shoulder and said ‘No-one here will ever tell you what to think’ …..and what relief he felt.
That’s how I felt on my first acquaintance with Alexander. I was given space to think and be exactly as I wanted – no-one telling me what I should do, but given space to discover for myself, what I wanted to do.
If in my teaching I guide your thoughts, it is to play with how we think, and to give you back the space to choose for yourself.
