5-18-2021 “Much of the sacredness of old scriptures – the Bhagavad Gita, the Sermon On The Mount, the Heart Sutra – lies in the fact that they are partly our creators, that is, they transform our culture, like an invisible God or dark energy that has formed us out of themselves.” Cal Billings
5-18-2021 “If God wishes to be born as man and to unite mankind in the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, He suffers the terrible torment of having to bear the world in its reality.

5-11-2021 “Great art is more than a transient refreshment. It is something which adds to the permanent richness of the soul’s self-attainment. It transforms the soul into the permanent realization of values extending beyond its former self.” A.N. Whitehead
5-11-2021 “God enters through the wound.” Carl Jung
5-11-2021 Secular reason tends to objectify, thus overly narrowing its scope. A person of faith tends toward superstition, thus overly expanding their scope. Both may benefit from an awareness of the other’s flaws as a way of appreciating their own.
5-11-2021 “It is the belief and not the god that counts.” Wallace Stevens

5-8-2021 With Martin Buber, we can characterize the fundamental religious insight as the intuition that everything which is not I myself, is Thou; but also, when considered as a whole, is We.
