“The Spirit who…
“The Spirit who inhabits us is not mute, restricting himself to an occasional nudge, a hot flash, a brilliant image or a case of goosebumps.”
This quote is from Dallas Willard’s book, “Hearing God”. I have already referenced this book a lot and will continue to do so. If you want a real challenge, read everything he writes. He stands in good company with Spurgeon, Chambers, Nouwen, Peck, Tozer, Foster and others. I read this right after I posted Did I vote my convictions or not? You decide.
(BTW, Can I just say as a woman that Willard’s wife should’ve edited the hotflash and goosebumps parts?)

Rebecca,
I always appreciate your thoughts. I do however, disagree with the “He” manifestation of what Ggod is.
Joseph Campbell said, “Is the god the source, or is the god a human manner of conceiving of the force and energy that supports the world? In our tradition God is a male. This male and female differentiation is made, however, within the field of time and space, the field of duality. If God is beyond duality, you cannot say that God is a “He.” You cannot say God is a “She.” You cannot say God is an “It.”
I believe this is closer than anything to what this power greater than us is.
