“The mind unlearned in reverence, says Bonaventure (1221-1274), is in danger of becoming so captivated by the spectacle of beings as to be altogether forgetful of being in itself; and our mechanistic approach to the world is nothing but ontological obliviousness translated into a living tradition.” WorldMindDangerBecomingApproachTraditionReverenceForgetfulCaptivated Author:David Bentley
“For Thomas Traherne (c. 1636-1674), one of the sanest men who ever lived, to see the world with the eyes of innocence, and so to see it pervaded by a numinous glory, is to see things as they truly are, and to recognize creation as the mirror of God's infinite beauty.” MenWorldEyeCreationGloryInfiniteMirrorsInnocenceNuminousInfinite Beauty Author:David Bentley
