Blindness Of Man Quotes

“The only problem with her is that she is too perfect. She is bad in a way that entices, and good in a way that comforts. She is mischief but then she is the warmth of home. The dreams of the wild and dangerous but the memories of childhood and gladness. She is perfection. And when given something perfect, it is the nature of man to dedicate his mind to finding something wrong with it and then when he is able to find something wrong with it, he rejoices in his find, and sees only the flaw, becoming blind to everything else! And this is why man is never given anything that is perfect, because when given the imperfect and the ugly, man will dedicate his mind to finding what is good with the imperfect and upon finding one thing good with the extremely flawed, he will only see the one thing good, and no longer see everything that is ugly. And so....man complains to God for having less than what he wants... but this is the only thing that man can handle. Man cannot handle what is perfect. It is the nature of the mortal to rejoice over the one thing that he can proudly say that he found on his own, with no help from another, whether it be a shadow in a perfect diamond, or a faint beautiful reflection in an extremely dull mirror.”

“What's simple is that everything good comes from God, and everything bad comes from man. Where it gets complicated is that everything seemingly good but ultimately bad comes from man, and everything seemingly bad but ultimately good comes from God.”
― Criss Jami, Healology

“The cycles of humankind – sheep in control of sheep – were part of an ingenious process taught to errand boys that were in charge of supervising others like them. No pawn or errand boy knows the Truth. No sheep or shepherd managed to escape their fate.
As long as humankind exists, there will be betrayals and murders.”
― Robert Neil Flieischer

“Standing at the grave, Marianne was suddenly aware of her own blindness; her dearest friends were like dreams she had woken from. How had she missed so much?”
― Jessica Shattuck, The Women in the Castle

“Look at our previous example of the girl. Her life continued to get smaller and smaller as she allowed herself to believe the fear and choose a decreasing of choice, Light, and life. This was brought through the continual choice of agreement to fear. All of this is in choice. She never lost her choice. And no matter how far or small she got to experience herself, it was through continual choice. And a part of that choice was her agreeing to believe that she did not have choice.
This is a beauty of the cycle or cyclone which the energy of fear is. When one believes that it must hand over its energy to fear, this energy is then used to reinforce and pull more energy into the experience itself until it can be blinding.
But once again, at any moment, one may free oneself through the simple choice of Love and recognition of their Oneness.”
