"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
— Matthew 18:20
"...one of the most important and significant aphorisms that Christ spoke, which goes something like this: 'When two or three people are united in my name, then I stand among them." In other words, when someone is alone, the Christ is not there. You cannot find the Christ without first feeling a connection to collective humanity. You must seek the Christ on a path that brings you together with all of humankind. In other words, being contented solely with one's own inner experiences leads one away from the Christ-impulse."
