God Is Not Good, Or Else He

By Humility, Out Of An Enemy He Has Made A Friend, Which Is More Than To Have Created A New Earth.

If I Had A Friend And Loved Him Because Of The Benefits Which This Brought Me And Because Of Getting My Own Way, Then It Would Not Be My Friend That I Loved But Myself. I Should Love My Friend On Account Of His Own Goodness And Virtues And Account Of All That He Is In Himself. Only If I Love My Friend In This Way Do I Love Him Properly.

Above Thought Is The Intellect, Which Still Seeks: It Goes About Looking, Spies Out Here And There, Picks Up And Drops. But Above The Intellect That Seeks Is Another Intellect Which Does Not Seek But Stays In Its Pure, Simple Being, Which Is Embraced In That Light.

God Is At His Greatest When I Am At My Least.

To Get At The Core Of God At His Greatest, One Must First Get To The Core Of Himself At His Least, For No One Can Know God Who Has Not First Known Himself. This Core Is A Simple Stillness, Which Is Unmoved Itself But By Whose Immobility All Things Are Moved And All Receive Life.
