“To better understand God we must first shatter our own idea of God - maybe even day after day. Maybe he's too great to stay compressed in the human mind. Maybe he splits it wide open; this is why pretentious intellectualism so often fails to comprehend the concept of God: it is only accepting of what it can explain while in the process finding higher sources offensive. What we may confidently assert is that faith is the opening that allows God, this unpredictable, unseen power, to travel in and out of the mind without all the pains of confusion.”

“Sincerely believe that you might not know the best possible path and recognize that your ability to deal well with “not knowingâ€� is more important than whatever it is you do know.

They understand that you can’t make a great decision without swimming for a while in a state of “not knowing.â€� That is because what exists within the area of “not knowingâ€� is so much greater and more exciting than anything any one of us knows.”

He hadn't known love could be felt through one's entire body. That it could manifest itself physically.”
