not quite done with the book, but there's quite a few delightful paragraphs to chew on, so i thought i'd throw one or two out here.

"God speaks in the softest of tones and the harshest of manners. As the all and everything of the universe, He speaks in every form. That's the rub. If He would just show up Hollywood style, speak in a Charleton Heston voice, we would find it easy to listen. But He shows up as the constant flow of life itself, in every piece, every quality, in the whole range of from ecstasy to calamity. We generally listen to the part we like, and don't want to hear the part we don't like. We start to form God's voice as the part, rather than the whole, and that's where we form belief, collect others who agree, and look slightly askance at those who don't. God is still talking as everything, it is just that we are only listening to the something. nobody is going to remember our stories about something, what endures is the everything.

This is why the age of belief is over, it can't sustain itself, because belief is always the belief in just a piece of everything."
