who do not know 

the Singer 

will believe this monster is the 

author of the Scroll you have."

God Don't Talk Like The Natural Man

Line from A Negro Spiritual 

God don’t talk like a natural man,
Don’t you see?
God don’t talk like a natural man,
He talk so sinners can understan’,
Don’t you see?

How God Reveals Himself

"God reveals God’s self to us through what unfolds as our life, along with every visible thing around us. These ordinary revelations must be respected and deeply listened to—before we start reading Bibles, joining churches, and quoting dogmas.
Life itself is the primary divine revelation."

~ Richard Rohr

Faith Definition

"Faith is God’s self-exposure received and responded to trustfully. A genuine act of faith is always in response to a new disclosure. It is meant to be an ongoing dialogue of divine disclosure and human response—an ever deeper divine disclosure and an ever deeper human response—just like any human love affair. People who are incapable of vulnerability thus cannot get very far on the journey of faith. They usually substitute either religion itself or atheistic denial."

~ Richard Rohr

Being Human Is Good

"Jesus came to put it all together for us and in us. He was saying, in effect, “To be human is good! The material and the physical can be trusted and enjoyed. This physical world is the hiding place of God and the revelation place of God!”

Richard Rohr. Daily Meditation, Jan 05, 2018

Practicing Quiet Noncooperation With Organized Religion

"You must now take full responsibility for your spiritual journey. Perhaps you feel you gave too many years of your life away in vain to religion. Don’t make the mistake of giving away more years in your bitterness. You have to move on. Stop railing against religion. It will keep you stalled on your spiritual journey, and feed your ego’s need to feel superior. Your ego is sneaky and would like nothing more than to distract you from your true Self by convincing you to forge an identity of being super spiritual or anti-religion. Instead, practice simple avoidance or quiet noncooperation with organized religion, but don’t waste time or energy being oppositional to it."

(Jim Palmer. Notes From Over The Edge)

God is Seen Without Theophanies

"Similarly, God is, without special theophanies, seen everywhere by those who have lived for him. No doubt God wants us to see him. That is part of his nature as outpouring love. Love always wants to be known.....

Seeing is no simple thing, of course. Often a great deal of knowledge, experience, imagination, patience, and receptivity are required."

(Dallas Willard. The Divine Conspiracy.)
