RADIO PROGRAM No. 158 - You Don't Have to Stay the Way You Are

QUESTIONER: I was impressed by a statement by Brian Whitlow in his book "Hurdles lo Heaven. (© 1963, by Brian Whitlow. Harper & Row. Publishers, Incorporated, New York, N. Y.) He says, "The great difference between a man and an animal or a vegetable is that a man doesn't have to stay the way he is. He can take a look at himself and change himself. This is a unique ability. A horse cannot do it nor can a cabbage. But a man can. A man can deliberately take steps to alter things about himself."

Now, many people ask: Is it really possible to reform—I mean, for people who have led the kind of life they're not particularly proud of?

SPEAKER: It is never too Late to reform. Purification of thinking and living is a present possibility for all. But essentially what needs altering isn't man, but a false, mistaken mortal view of man.
