In relation to God, we are like a thief who has burgled the house of a kindly householder and been allowed to keep some of the gold. From the point of view of the lawful owner this gold is a gift; Form the point of view of the burglar it is a theft. He must go and give it back. It is the same with our existence. We have stolen a little of God's being to make it ours. God has made us a gift of it. But we have stolen it. We must return it.

Everything that is doddering, squint-eyed, vile, polluted and grotesque is summoned up for me in that one word: God!

God will provide -- ah, if only He would till He does!

Proverb, Yiddish

45.

To believe in God or in a guiding force because someone tells you to is the height of stupidity. We are given senses to receive our information within. With our own eyes we see, and with our own skin we feel. With our intelligence, it is intended that we understand. But each person must puzzle it out for himself or herself.

Sophy Burnham

Without doubt God is the universal moving force, but each being is moved according to the nature that God has given it.

This rule is truly the eternal law and in it we must believe.

Maistre, Joseph De
