There's a child within me that hasn't stopped crying and screaming for decades. Today, we listened to Coptic liturgical music, and she started to smile and clap her hands, while tears of relief streamed down my face. I was finally able to die, released from the "brutality of the will". I thought I knew myself, but today, the truth set us free, because I wanted to find it.
I don't know about this whole God thing, I can see how personification seems irrelevant to the experience. It's beyond concept and image however we might need to use both to try to communicate it. Music cuts right to the heart of it.
"At the center of our being there is a point of nothingness." - Thomas Merton
