He who desires to become aware of the hidden light must lift the feeling of fear up to its source. And he can accomplish this if he judges himself and all he does. For then he sheds all fears and lifts fear that has fallen down. But if he does not judge himself, he will be judged from on high, and this judgment will come upon him in the guise of countless things, and all the things in the world will become messengers of God who carry out the judgment on this man.
Martin BuberNothing so tends to mask the face of God as religion; it can be a substitute for God himself.
Martin BuberMeet the world with the fullness of your being, and you shall meet God. Of you wish to believe, love.
