More From Blaise Pascal

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

Recognize that whether you are worthy or not is all a made-up 'story'...nothing has meaning except for the meaning we give it...there's no one who comes around and stamps you 'worthy' or 'unworthy'. you do that. you make it up. you decide it...if you say you're worthy, you are. if you say you're not worthy, you're not. either way you will live into your story.

And because the condition of man, (as hath been declared in the precedent chapter) is a condition of warre of every one against everyone; in which case every one is governed by his own reason; and there is nothing he can make use of, that may not be a help unto him, in preserving his life against his enemyes; it followeth, that in such a condition, every man has a right to every thing; even to one anothers body.

It is a myth that man in his natural state is genuinely seeking god. men do seek god. but they do not seek him for who he is. they seek him in a pinch as one who might preserve them from death or enhance their worldly enjoyments. apart from conversion, no one comes to the light of god.
