People were authentically moved by surprising personal experiences of renewals --- experiences which transcended their best intentions, technologies, techniques, plans and systems. They were motivated to share the good news of experienced possibilities for personal and communal renewal. Many religious groups have become institutionalized in ways which have led them to forget to tell personal stories of renewal, transformations, integration, growth, reconciliation and transcendence of old ways, traditions and collusions. They have settled into patterns of successful: traditions, recitations, rituals, habits, and conventional proprieties. The believers believe that they have sufficient knowledge to recognize the difference between "good" people and "evil" people --- for they have eaten of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil --- which they found in the middle of the garden of good living. In differing ways they have become certain that they are right. Their differing forms of certainty have become their means for making alienative distinctions between who has been "saved", and who is "dammed". They have forgotten about telling their own personal stories of surprising occasions of: healing, reconciliation, cooperation, renewal, transformations, transcendence and growth. Forgetful people try to figure out how to succeed and achieve the "good" life which seems to be always just beyond their manipulative grasp. They seek to develop better techniques for extending their grasp and better ways to hold onto whatever they get their hands on. They find that the tempting fruits which they reach for --- continue to rise beyond the reach of their most highly developed technologies. They cannot achieve for themselves the kind of security, salvation, satisfaction, fulfillment, meaning, or peace --- which they believe that they deserve to have and hold on to. They cannot let go of their visions of self-sufficiency, independence, and security through invulnerability. Thus they create various forms of hell --- from which they cannot escape on their own.
