Imagination has the creative task of making symbols, joining things together in such a way that they throw new light on each other and on everything around them. The imagination is a discovering faculty, a faculty for seeing relationships, for seeing meanings that are special and even quite new.

Zen insight is not our awareness, but Being's awareness of itself in us.

See, see Who God is, see the glory of God, going up to Him out of this incomprehensible and infinite Sacrifice in which all history begins and ends, all individual lives begin and end, in which every story is told, and finished, and settled for joy or for sorrow: the one point of reference for all the truths that are outside of God, their center, their focus: Love.

The sacred attitude is, then, one of deep and fundamental respect for the real in whatever new form it may present itself.

Reason is in fact the path to faith, and faith takes over when reason can say no more.
