No one knows who he is. The “me” that we keep uttering constantly is the biological “me “. In the most favorable cases, the personal ‘me’ is in the making: it is being made. (p. 16)

The human body thus is a body in the making, a body in becoming, a body being spiritualized, a body becoming a spirit, a body being immortalized, a body that breathes God and reveals Him. (p. 17)

Each of us is called to be an incarnation of God, each of us is called to let divinity shine through oneself, each of us is called to become transparent and all the human grandness is there! (p. 18)

If we do not offer freedom the inner space necessary for its expansion whose infinite requirement cannot bear any limit, the physical universe will close its borders more and more tightly on us. (p. 23)

The only way we can integrate and overcome our determinisms, is the disappropriation of ourselves which is the essence of love. (p. 44)

 

If we are supposed to get to know God by faith, as by an inner light, it is precisely because God cannot impose Himself on us. (p. 45)

 

Freedom does not mean: to do what I want; freedom means: to be free from myself, to become an unlimited space where the entire universe can be received. (3-338)

 

Freedom is the key to any experience of God  (p. 26)
