Quote by Laurence Galian

“An EXPERIENCE happens. Someone comes from a foreign country and for a while an experience happens. IT is about the experience, not the set of rules, laws and dogmas that results from the experience. A whirlwind appears for a while and then leaves. People then seek to copy the experience of the whirlwind by waving little fans. It is not possible to artificially preserve whirlwinds. Do not become spiritual taxidermists trying to preserve a dead animal. Do not accept the lifeless FORM for the dynamic CONTENT!”

“No matter how many times people bear the same testimony, no matter how marvelous the miracles they recite, no one’s spiritual experience will ever be as convincing as your own. Prayer combined with obedience to God’s commandments prepare us for His blessings. Those blessings, when recognized and appreciated, plant a seed of faith. Faith then precedes the receiving of miracles, which are spiritual experiences that grow a personal testimony. So if you want spiritual experiences, start by offering daily prayer and strict obedience to God. Blessings, faith, and miracles will develop from those roots and eventually blossom into a powerful personal testimony.”

“The therapist I once talked with but never went back to, because the copay was too steep even with Dad's health insurance, would probably call this wallowing. Unhealthy. Destructive. But I'm not so sure. I treasure my newfound feelings, Hoard them. Every once in a while I study them, turn them around, squint at them like they're a ripe piece of fruit, plucked from a mysterious tree that shouldn't even be growing in my yard. When I pop them in my mouth to swallow them whole, they taste bitter and delicious.”
