"Talk of spirituality is often like trying to pull yourself up by your bootstraps: Unless you already understand, the words are of little help, but once you understand, the words are unnecessary."
- Daniel A. Helminak
1 Corinthians 13:12 (New Living Translation)
"Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely."
"Either our lives become stories, or there's just no way to get through them ... this is why I left my life behind me and came to the desert - to tell stories and to make my own life a worthwhile tale in the process... So I came down here, to breathe dust and walk with the dogs - to look at a rock or a cactus and know that I am the first person to see that cactus and that rock. And to try and read the letter inside me." - adapted from Douglas Coupland's Generation X

Quote of the day
This is the reason why I'm a mystic... someone who cannot find and connect to God in a sermon, a book, even the bible, through someone else's view and stories... I can only truly find him through intuition and experience. Only your own experience can be relied upon if you want God to root himself into your soul. Everything else is just theory... babble.
