“Unabii ni uwezo alionao mtu wa kuongea mambo matakatifu ya Mungu, kuwaongoza wenzake katika njia njema. Mungu humwambia nabii kitu cha kusema na nabii huwambia wenzake kile ambacho Mungu amemwambia aseme. Mungu hawezi kuongea na watu mpaka watu wajue jinsi ya kuongea naye, na wakati mwingine ni rahisi sana kusikia ujumbe kutoka kwa mtu kuliko kuusikia ujumbe huo moja kwa moja kutoka kwa Mungu. Mungu anaweza kukwambia useme kitu fulani kwa mtu au watu fulani. Unaweza usijue kwa nini anakwambia ufanye hivyo, lakini utajisikia msukumo wa hali ya juu wa kutangaza ujumbe uliopewa kuuwasilisha. Mungu hatakulazimisha, lakini atakung’ang’aniza, na ni Mungu pekee anayejua lengo la mawasiliano hayo. Mungu akikwambia ufanye kitu fanya mara moja, usiulize kwa nini. Kazi yako ni kufanya unachotakiwa kufanya, kusema unachotakiwa kusema, si kuuliza maswali. Mtumie rafiki yako wa kiroho kukuongoza katika mema na mabaya, na usitambe – kwamba unaongea maneno uliyoambiwa na Mungu uyaongee. Ukiwa na uwezo mkubwa wa kuongea na Mungu utaleta mabadiliko katika dunia.”

“When basic human needs are ignored, rejected, or invalidated by those in roles and positions to appropriately meet them; when the means by which these needs have been previously met are no longer available: and when prior abuse has already left one vulnerable for being exploited further, the stage is set for the possibility these needs will be prostituted. This situation places a survivor who has unmet needs in an incredible dilemma. She can either do without or seek the satisfaction of mobilized needs through some "illegitimate" source that leaves her increasingly divided from herself and ostracized from others. While meeting needs in this way resolves the immediate existential experience of deprivation and abandonment. it produces numerous other difficulties. These include experiencing oneself as “bad” or "weak" for having such strong needs; experiencing shame and guilt for relying on “illegitimate” sources of satisfaction: experiencing a loss of self-respect for indulging in activities contrary to personal moral standards of conduct; risking the displeasure and misunderstanding of others important to her; and opening oneself to the continued abuse and victimization of perpetrators who are all too willing to selfishly use others for their own pleasure and purposes under the guise of being 'helpful.”
