“He who does not meditate acts as one who never looks into the mirror and so does not bother to put himself in order, since he can be dirty without knowing it. The person who meditates and turns his thoughts to God who is the mirror of the soul, seeks to know his defects and tries to correct them, moderates himself in his impulses and puts his conscience in order.” KnowsTryingLooksPersonsDoeSoulOrderTurnsKnowingConscienceMirrorsSaintImpulseBotherDirtyDefectsModerates Author:Pio of Pietrelcina

“The idea that the universe itself is physically structured around hierarchy was sort of an integration of earlier science and theology that was made by people like Thomas Aquinas, that was assumed doctrinally in that tradition. The Reformation rejected that model of reality and created a highly individualistic metaphysics in the sense that it located everything normative that can be said about reality in human perception, there being, of course, no other avenue of knowing. There is Scripture, there is conscience, there is perception itself.” PeopleHumansMadeSaidIdeasRealityUniverseCoursesKnowingPerceptionModelsConscienceTraditionScriptureTheologyRejectedMetaphysicsIntegrationHierarchyAvenuesReformationIndividualistic Author:Marilynne Robinson
