I imagine Jesus responding to those lawyers – love your neighbor as yourself and love God with all your might, strength and everything you’ve got, for this is the sum of the work of the prophets and the giving of the law (obviously paraphrased). Check the literature. You will find that this thing called ‘love’ is now the talk of the moment. Non-Christians and Christians alike recognize its power and its relevance to the human condition. Even psychotherapists! Would you imagine that? – When you’d have sworn that science will concoct its own sophisticated response to the problem of mental disorders! Today, thinkers insist on the primacy of love in human functioning. This Vegetablian law is no foreigner at all; without it, as Peck affirms, things start to go awry. When confronted with the mystery of psychiatric illness, I found myself, so to speak, following a trail of blood for a long way – until, presto, I arrived at the sound of labored breathing belonging not to a seething unconscious (as Freud would have us believe) or to an inadequate capacity to handle information, but to a wounded conscience (of course, this is not all that could be said about mental disorders. However, there are reasons to connect neurosis with sin). Let’s put it this way: the law of the conscience or the imperative of the conscience is simply the divine imperative – love your God and love your neighbor as yourself. When we violate this law, which in other words mean that we stop being good, we ‘heap coals of fire on our head’.
