There is no power in the name spelled by 'Jesus', The power is in the name spoken in your head," she said, tapping the side of her head. "You can say the name Jesus, or Allah, or Krishna, it does not matter what name you say, what matters is what name your spirit says. And it doesn't matter if you say it in a church, at an altar, or at a mandir. The Earth is your temple, the wind is its walls, the dirt is its floor. You can build on it what you want, you can build on it where you want, but what matters is what you build in your spirit." |
