True Self and The Voice of God

Monet

Speaking of narrative arts, literature, theater, novels, movies connect us with other human beings. They can create spiritual changes in us. Art will always be. You can’t stop people from making art, because it is a human need. We need to make poems, to sing, to paint pictures……

Imagine a world without music or books, or dance… it’s eternal, it’s a necessity, it’s like food, a spiritual food. If we don’t have art, we will die spiritually.

— Paul Auster

The most important thing for everyone in Gringolandia is to have ambition and become ‘somebody,’ and frankly, I don’t have the least ambition to become anybody.

Many educated and sophisticated people are not willing to submit to indirect, subversive, and intuitive knowing, which is probably why they rely far too much on external law and behavior to achieve their spiritual purposes. They know nothing else that feels objective and solid…

But think about it: If the incarnation is true, then of course God speaks to us through our own thoughts! When accusers called Joan of Arc…the victim of her own imagination, she is frequently credited with this brilliant reply: “How else would God speak to me?”
