Who is the third who walks always beside you?
When I count, there are only you and I together
But when I look ahead up the white road
There is always another one walking beside you
These words from T S Eliot's Wasteland are the starting
point for a discussion about inner guidance in general, and the sensitive subject of
Jesus in particular. In times of difficulty and distress, where do you go for
help? When things go wrong and other people let you down, 'Who you gonna call?'
I am not I.
I am this one
Walking beside me whom I do not see...
I am this one
Walking beside me whom I do not see...
The Third who walks always
beside you represents the alternative answer to all needs and questions,
because it involves a different way of thinking. It reframes both our
(inadequate) self-reliance and our (frustrated) dependence on others. The
workshop is about our need for answers, the practice and secret purposes of
prayer, the reliability or otherwise of inner and outer guides, and our deep
resistance to asking for help...unless it comes in a form we can accept, and
does not help us right out of our area of control.
