Living The Questions
“It is part of the mystery of life on earth that the human soul can awaken, grow greater, and reveal inner gifts when everything turns dark and seems about to fall apart. Soul does not fear a downturn or seek to avoid a period of darkness. Soul carries a deeper wisdom and darker knowledge born of descent and loss and renewal. Soul would have us go where we fear to go in order to learn who we are intended to be.”
— Michael Meade, “Why the World Doesn’t End”

“The stupidity of people comes from having an answer for everything. The wisdom of the novel comes from having a question for everything.”
~Milan Kundera

Our understanding of reality isn’t sharpened by answers, but by further questioning. It’s the same with soul-work. The rough diamond of the soul is sharpened by the pressure of questioning our ego’s perceptions.
Pressure is the thing. Questioning things is the most efficacious pressure there is. Question long enough and fiercely enough, and your soul will be sharp enough to cut God.
— Gary Z McGee

“The things that we love tell us what we are.”
— Thomas Aquinas
