ow this group of people devoted to one another demonstrates not only a universal human need, but the particular need of the isophy!. Many sociologists are puzzled by the fact that while divorce increases so does church attendance. This, however, is no real paradox. On the contrary, it is what we should expect. For as we are seeing the failure of the attempt to join two people together for life while denying them any other intimate adult tender companionship, we see them seeking a group that will understand them, a group in which love will be as intense, loyal, and self-forgetful, but also far richer in wisdom, resources, and patience than any young couple, ignorant and infatuated, can be.

nd today, besides this return to orthodox church membership (which return too often ends in disappointment), we see an even more significant symptom of the return to religion that is the rapid growth of a new type of religion. These new groupings have been called 'ad hoc' churches. That is to say they are made of groups of people who had found themselves in a terrible fix. Society rejected them and they were sinking. They came together to see whether they could help each other. No one else could and very few even wished to try. Such groups (here called 'ad hoc' churches, because each serves a special need of one particular problem type) are the Alcoholics Anonymous, the Narcotics Anonymous, and Recovery Incorporated for those. in mental trouble. But, besides these recovery, self-salvage groups, there are groups that advance an already attained status. For instance. many people who have had psychoanalysis feel the need for companionship with others who have gone through this discipline and now want to go on to further self-integration, to further understanding and control of themselves. These people are not patients convalescing from an addiction (like alcohol or morphia) or from mental derangement. Successful psychoanalysis and psychotheray do for the mind what a good gym does for the body-they make the still healthy still stronger.

ere, then, is what the isophyl can and should look for in religion: the group that understands him, in which he will find friendship and support and service, which will save him from discouragement and bring out the best in him. As Carl Jung has said, all men of good will are agreed now about four of the five natural moral laws: The rule of Force should be 'through persuasion, not by coercion': The rule for Wealth should be 'to be creatively employed, not merely to be making money': The rule of 'the man of his word' is that he does not cheat: The rule of mental hygiene is 'don't think one thing and do another'.

o we find the answers to the four key questions: What is Force, Wealth, Your

Sword, Your Thought? But there is a fifth question, and it is causing most of

our present confusion. Freud thought it was: What is Sex? Modern psychology is increasingly convinced that that is to put it too narrowly. The real question is: What is Love? And we are stalled trying to answer it, because those who believe in self control don't believe in up-to-date psychophysical scientific knowledge, while those who hold by scientific knowledge often look on self control as a hang-over from the blind inhibitions of superstition. This, then, is the key problem that confronts modern man. By setting himself to solve it by learning to work with a DEVOTED group which believes control and love are two aspects of the same thing, the isophyl can not only aid himself and his fellows, he can forward religion and help mankind.
