“Contemplation will not bring you peace. Or, if you receive peace you will also receive new sufferings and new conflict. It involves opening the Eye of the Heart, and while this allows us to perceive ourselves in Christ, it also allows us to see Christ in the world, and in the world Christ is everywhere Crucified. It is a terrible thing to behold.” ReligionSpiritualityPrayerChristianityContemplation Book:This Dark Age - 2024 Edition - Volume 6: Counsels Source: This Dark Age - 2024 Edition - Volume 6: Counsels
“To call a people ‘barbaric’ is, in one sense, to describe the state of their soul, condemning their mentality or philosophy as godless.

A rich man can be a barbarian as easily as anyone else.” WisdomCultureSpiritualityCivilizationManners Book:This Dark Age - 2024 Edition - Volume 1: Introduction to the Modern World Source: This Dark Age - 2024 Edition - Volume 1: Introduction to the Modern World
