Like many insane people, his insanity might be measured by the things he was not aware of, the great desert tracts in his consciousness."

"But perhaps there are insensitive hearts, still incapable of receiving this Light because the weight of their sins prevents them from seeing it. Let them not imagine that they Light is absent because they do not see it, for on account of their sins they are in darkness. 'And the Light shone in the darkness, and the darkness understood it not' (Jn 1:5). Therefore, Brothers, like the blind man exposed to the sun, the sun being present to him but he being absent from the sun, so the insensitive one, the sinner, the impious has a blind heart."

In your 'today' you will make all that is to exist tomorrow and thereafter, and in your 'today' you have made all that existed yesterday and for ever before."


"Thus, every entity, even if it is a defective one, in so far as it is an entity, is good. In so far as it is defective, it is evil."


"The good man is free, even if he is a slave. The evil man is a slave, even if he is a king."
