Never Out of Touch

ANNA MAY McGILL

Frequently, today, attention is drawn to sensitivity groups where people touch one another—in this and other ways seek to bare their souls—in a reaching out to break down the barriers they feel exist between themselves and others.

If we think of man as spiritual and complete—as the perfect expression of God, divine Love—we can begin to understand that man cannot really be out of touch. He cannot be alienated from Life, God, or from his brother man. And we can begin to demonstrate this truth in our experience. One could, of course, sit in a closet staring at empty walls and declare, "I am alone." Or one could do the same thing on a crowded streetcar, or even in a sensitivity group.

Loneliness, or alienation, and hang–ups of one sort or another represent self–imposed suffering occurring as a result of believing that man is an isolated material being, humanly conceived, self–maintained.
