...as there is no screen or ceiling between our heads and the infinite heavens, so is there no bar or wall in the soul where man, the effect, ceases, and god, the cause, begins. the walls are taken away. we lie open on one side to the deeps of spiritual nature, to the attributes of god. justice we see and know, love, freedom, power. these natures no man ever got above, but they tower over us, and most in the moment when our interests tempt us to wound them.

...as There Is No Screen Or Ceiling
