“And Lando had calmed, settled back down, and without even having placed his lips against hers or felt her in the thrall of passion, he had felt a strange kind of peacefulness flood over him.

God invites us to cooperate with his providence while the world rallies behind self-determinism. God appoint us in stewardship while the world touts ownership. The world encourages entitlement when in reality everything is a gift from God. God invites us to look out for our neighbor; the world tells us to look out for ourselves...”

American poet Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) advised, ‘The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.’ A euphoric experience – the rapturous joys of life – is available to a sincere person whom perceives truth, statements that fit properly into a system taken as a whole (coherence).”
