• In the dominant Western religious system, the love of God is essentially the same as the belief in God, in God’s existence, God’s justice, God’s love. The love of God is essentially a thought experience. In the Eastern religions and in mysticism, the love of God is an intense feeling experience of oneness, inseparably linked with the expression of this love in every act of living.

We do not know enough about the unknown to know that it is unknowable.

  Gilbert K. Chesterton

  Keys, Bangs, Enough
