The Roman judge asks where Jesus is from in order to understand who he really is and what he wants.
“St. Bonaventure (1221–1274) taught that to work up to loving God, start by loving the very humblest and simplest things, and then move up from there.”

“Gifts to us from the ancient Mediterranean world, they surely should be the hammer and sickle of our next revolution, because any journey to Finland Station that isn’t preceded by a journey to the end of the Labyrinth, or to the end of the Underworld, will end where all such journeys must necessarily end, with a new reign of terror, with guillotine and gulag.”

“When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.”

“When we find ourselves in a midlife depression, suddenly hate our spouse, our jobs, our lives – we can be sure that the unlived life is seeking our attention. When we feel restless, bored, or empty despite an outer life filled with riches, the unlived life is asking for us to engage. To not do this work will leave us depleted and despondent, with a nagging sense of ennui or failure. As you may have already discovered, doing or acquiring more does not quell your unease or dissatisfaction. Neither will “meditating on the light” or attempting to rise above the sufferings of earthly existence. Only awareness of your shadow qualities can help you to find an appropriate place for your unredeemed darkness and thereby create a more satisfying experience. To not do this work is to remain trapped in the loneliness, anxiety, and dualistic limits of the ego instead of awakening to your higher calling.”
