Passing It Along

Excerpted from 6/9/12 post by Father Richard Rohr:

"Niels Bohr, the Danish physicist who was a major contributor to quantum physics and nuclear fission, said the universe is 'not only stranger than we think, but stranger than we can think.'  .  .  .  Of all the religious rituals and practices I know of, nothing will lead us to (the) place of .  .  .  vulnerability more than forms of solitude and silence, where our ego identity falls away, where our explanations don’t mean anything, where our superiority doesn’t matter .  .   .  God is not only stranger than we think, but stranger than the logical mind can think  .  .  .  "
