Quote by Watchman Nee

“The soul is the seat of the affections, and what a great part of our decisions and actions is influenced by these! There is nothing deliberately sinful about them, mind you. It is just that there is something in us which can go out in natural affection to another person, and which, ungoverned by the Spirit, can influence wrongly our whole course of action.”

“What else are mirrors meant for then 95 But so each knows himself from other men!’ Your mirrors show the husk and not the kernel; The soul-revealing mirror is eternal: This mirror for the soul is the saint’s face, The one who is beyond all time and space— ‘Heart, seek a mirror of this type!’ I’d scream, ‘Reach for the ocean, and not a mere stream!”

“Now we can arise from the ruins and do something better. We have freedom to explore the human soul. I believe in magic. In some sort of divine. In spirit. That we are all connected. I think modern subatomic physics informs what we know of the universe—that reality is strange, and connected where we don’t see it right away, that there is being, where our modern education has taught us there is only empty mechanistic material, as well as nothingness. But there surely is nobility. And beauty. And love. Yes, and miracles. And hope.”

“Zero and infinity also define religion (which is just a branch of philosophy). Zero is the number of the Soul. As for the Soul’s capacity, it’s infinite (so infinity is the second number of the soul). Zero is the number of mind, of deathlessness (it’s dimensionless, so cannot be annihilated), of life itself; infinity is the number of eternity, of immortality, of endless energy, endless knowledge, endless power – of GOD. It’s time for science, religion and philosophy to be brought under one roof: mathematics. Now that defined numbers (zero and infinity) have been explicitly attached to the soul/mind, it can be treated as a respectable entity for mathematical study.”
