No man has ever seen God. But u must not think yrself wholly unsuited 2 seeing God..whoever dwells in love dwells in God. So love whoever is nearest 2 u & look inside u 2 see where that love is coming from: thus, as far as u r capable, u will see God. #Readings #StAugustine 1/
By loving your neighbour, by having care for your neighbour, you are travelling on a journey. Where are you journeying, except to the Lord God, whom we must love with all our heart and all our soul and all our mind? #Readings #StAugustine 2/
We have not yet reached the Lord, but our neighbour is with us already. So support your neighbour, who is travelling with you, so that you may reach him with whom you long to dwell. #Readings #StAugustine #TractatesonStJohn 3/

The Word of God, born once in the flesh (such is his kindness and his goodness), is always willing to be born spiritually in those who desire him..How can the Word made flesh be essentially the same person that is wholly with the Father?.. #Readings #StMaximus #DivineOffice 1/
How can he who is by nature God become by nature wholly man without lacking either nature, neither the divine by which he is God nor the human by which he became man?.. #Readings #StMaximustheConfessor 2/
Faith alone grasps these mysteries. Faith alone is truly the substance & foundation of all that exceeds knowledge & understanding. #Readings #StMaximustheConfessor #DivineOffice #Christmasseason 3/

Another great recommendation from @naval is “The Untethered Soul” by Michael Singer. It’s a very simple but profound insight into how to improve your inner life. Here are some of my favourite sentences from the book:
The best way to free yourself from this incessant chatter [of your monkey mind] is to step back and view it objectively
In fact, the only way to get your distance from this voice is to stop differentiating what it’s saying. Stop feeling that one thing it says is you and the other thing it says is not you. 1/

There is so much ugliness in the world. The #Hivites are not only working as hard as they can to create as much chaos & negativity in the world as possible, they are also contributing to that swell of negativity with their own DREAD & HATE. I refuse to contribute to that feeling.
There is going to be ugliness & violence, probably more frequently, as the stakes get higher & the #Hivites continue losing ground. I know there is so much bad news to report, & everyone is angry & wanting justice. The DEMAND for justice is palpable. And it is good. But...
Truly, the very BEST thing #WeThePeople can do is counter-BALANCE this negativity with LOVE. With COMPASSION. With honest recognition of truth & firm, unwavering enforcement of reasonable BOUNDARIES. How would you speak to a 4 year old? Do that with these bad actors. Because...

I got to explain #GayPanic and #UselessLesbian to my pysch today 😂

These are terms I just learned (over the last few months myself) that described succinctly, what the heck is going on with my brain.

To unpack these terms, I'm going to start you with Sappho.

“Sweet mother, I cannot weave –
slender Aphrodite has overcome me
with longing for a girl.” –Sappho

To everyone, we've almost all been in this feeling. (i cannot speak for Ace)
Someone we see or meet, and their presence just #dazzles us into #malfunction (however brief)

-
- it's a pretty common #human #feeling. (again, cannot speak for Ace, and that's ok, y'all are lovely :) )

now here's where #GayPanic sets in... we feel the feels...omg. wow.
and our brains go into... IS THIS DANGER????

I'm sorry to say, our panic does start there.
