When we can see the image of God where we don't want to see the image of God, then we see with eyes not our own.

One is struck in the study of saints, angels and gods by a pattern that seems quaint and harmless. Yet, it is so common that I know there must be a deeper meaning. There always seem to be guardians and spirits of doors, bridges, exits and entranceways.

The spiritual world is hidden and perfectly revealed in the physical world.

If you don't transform your suffering, you'll transmit it.

God is always bigger than the boxes we build for God, so we should not waste too much time protecting the boxes.

People will often, almost always, prefer a male God. A male image of God gives them this sense of security, safety, order, no nonsense. So that's where their psyche is at. Probably it's something that they've got to go through. Not that there isn't a need for order in the world, but the mystical level seems to be the mature level of religion, and there the question is not order but union - divine union. And so, without some integration of the feminine, usually you never get to the mystical level.

Faith is not for overcoming obstacles; it is for experiencing them—all the way through!
