The fact that we experience something is not what matters; whom and what we experience is alone decisive. Who God is and what He wills and does should become so great and exclusive that through it we forget the experience itself, that is, ourselves and our experience, and lose sight of it completely. The greatest experience completely reveals our own insignificance.

- Eberhard ArnoldThe Holy Spirit produces a judgment upon everything that resists him, for the light he brings is a fire that he kindles. For this reason he is a Spirit of reverence. As the Spirit of truth he brings into the light everything that tries to hide. He leads into the reality of ultimate truth by testifying to Christ and, as the Spirit of mercy and of prayer, by bestowing and granting whatever the believing person needs.

The light shines on every human being that comes to this world. But only he who accepts it completely, and only as long as he accepts it completely, will receive power, strength and tasks.

And now I must tell you about the sun. The sun shines. He sends forth his beams and gives warmth. He awakens and strengthens life. Should he disappear, everything would suddenly be dead, really dead! But it is not one and the same thing whether the sun shines on a rock or on a flower. Certainly the sun has also awakened life from rocks. In hearts of stone that will not be called to life, the light of God works in a different way than in a heart that receives the light.
