The Hermetic Writings

First off, I have to say, "Wow." That writing was extremely emotional for me toward the end, and I am not too sure why. Maybe it is because "God is all around" as the writing reads. Lately I have been questioning my belief in Him, mainly because of the election. And then listening to the audio of Julia Sweeny on Wednesday's meeting. After hearing that, I walked around gloomy for the rest of the day. No joke. Reading this entry in the text though, was sort of a pick me up... something that I needed. "Wanting to know God, is the road that leads to God..." (34) this quote is so true to me, and others might disagree. But I feel that if you want to KNOW Him, then you will walk the path. If you do not want to know God, then ignoring that path will lead you away from Him.

The clip that we listened to in class the other day was very powerful. it kept me thinking all day as well. but what you mentioned is true. you have to want to know God to be able to. i liked what you said about that.
