But God’s angry displeasure erupts as acts of human mistrust and wrongdoing and lying accumulate, as people try to put a shroud over truth. But the basic reality of God is plain enough. Open your eyes and there it is! By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can’t see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being. So nobody has a good excuse. What happened was this: People knew God perfectly well, but when they didn’t treat him like God, refusing to worship him, they trivialized themselves into silliness and confusion so that there was neither sense nor direction left in their lives. They pretended to know it all, but were illiterate regarding life. They traded the glory of God who holds the whole world in his hands for cheap figurines you can buy at any roadside stand.

“Reaching For The Light”
Mystic Intuition … p 88
Deep within us, yet ever at hand, lies an intuitive “sixth sense”, an expression of our divine spirituality. When listened to, we are enabled to look beyond life’s physical reality and, in all humility, find the goodness in others. It is a wondrous experience that both engenders compassion and frees us from the human propensity to judge. In conversation with another we learn to hear what is being said while at once listening for that which is unsaid. Two souls are forever uplifted.
