No longer merely profit and power, but grace.

Yes, in the “enlightenment” when we correctly threw out the unscientific dogma/bathwater of the Church, unconsciously we also threw out the philosophical baby of Wisdom and its pinnacle concept and experience grace….with it as well.

But now we’ve come to the end of our mind’s tether and found that it’s not so insightful or satisfying, and worse has become the seemingly unresolvable and destroying Golem we thought we’d overcome. T. S. Eliot’s words are apt:  “We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.”
