May I begin with a short reflection of the philosopher Martin Buber. Once, Buber answered an old man, who had asked him how he could say ‘God' time after time? What word of human speech is so misused, so defiled, so desecrated as this!

"Yes," Buber said, it is the most heavy-laden of all human words: "None has become so soiled, so mutilated. Just for this reason I may not abandon it [...] We cannot cleanse the word ‘God' and we cannot make it whole; but, defiled and mutilated as it is, we can raise it from the ground and set it over an hour of great care."

Let our YOURISE be that hour of great care, one of human experience, encounter and love. For where two or three of us are truly together, there is no "God Delusion," but mutual respect and dignity, we are together in the presence of the creative ground of existence, together in the unity of our God.

I hope you will enjoy my flowing YOURISE;

a philosophical quest for You-consciousness!

With best wishes,

Dr. Meins G. S. Coetsier
