THIS BOOK, the third of a trilogy, follows A Vision of the Aquarian
Age and Operation Redemption. As I worked on it, I suddenly knew
that its title must be "Exploration into God". What presumption I
thought! Who am I, who have no qualifications whatever as a
theologian, to use such a title? Yet I knew it was right and
fitting. The phrase comes from a passage in Christopher Fry's play
"A Sleep of Prisoners". Prisoners of war, locked in an empty church
at night (itself a powerful symbol) talk and banter, joke and
smoke, but one after another they are taken over and speak from
higher inspiration out of the spiritual world. Finally Meadows, the
Sergeant, touched with the higher consciousness, says this: The
human heart can go the lengths of God. Dark and cold we may be, but
this Is no winter now. The frozen misery of centuries breaks,
cracks, begins to move; The thunder is the thunder of the floes,
The thaw, the flood, the upstart Spring. Thank God our Time is now
when wrong Comes up to face us everywhere, Never leave us till we
take The longest stride of soul men ever took. Affairs are now soul
size. The enterprise Is exploration into God. Where are you making
for? It takes So many thousand years to wake But will you wake for
pity's sake? I have quoted this frequently in lectures, since it
gives a powerful expression of the age we live in and the hope of a
change in consciousness which will usher in a New Age. While
Principal of Attingham Park, I invited a distinguished theologian
and Shakespearean scholar to conduct a weekend course on the work
of Christopher Fry. I spoke of my admiration of the above passage
and to my great surprise he responded: Oh, Christopher went badly
wrong there! There can be no question of our exploring into God.
All we can do is to pray and wait for God's grace to be granted to
us. And then I saw that the emergence of the spiritual and holistic
world view in our time was calling and challenging us to go beyond
academic or traditional viewpoints and really take our own
initiative in exploring into the field of God-thought. So I offer
it, with due humility, as truth.
