My God and I

The challenge of the formlessness of God

“One of the most challenging aspects for those who are seeking to find the God of their understanding for the first time is His formlessness. It can be difficult to believe in, and connect with, something that cannot be seen. Perhaps this is because although God is in all things He is felt and experiencedContinue reading “The challenge of the formlessness of God”

Once I ‘know’ God, that is, once I experience God’s love as the love in which all my humanContinue reading “I can desire only one thing”

Silence will illuminate you in God

“Silence will illuminate you in God… and deliver you from phantoms of ignorance. Silence will unite you to God…. In the beginning we have to force ourselves to be silent. But then from our very silence is born something that draws us into deeper silence. May God give you an experience of this ‘something’ thatContinue reading “Silence will illuminate you in God”
