Title:
Carlyle Marney - "Our Present Higher Good" (November 5, 1972)
Description:

  • The realization of a truly human selfhood must come through the self's immersion in four reasonable myths: 1.) The myth that, in spite of all we know about the unconscious, I truly am a consciousness; 2.) The myth that will and passion are forces of the ego that I, as a consciousness, direct; 3.) The myth that I am under a law of love; 4.) The myth that there is a common good. When we accept these myths, then we can move to full personhood and the realization of a new humanity. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 30:54. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 58:58.

  • Key quotation: “The higher self is available to us only through our immersion in a set of reasonable myths.”
