All profound things, and emotions of things are preceded and attended by silence... silence is the general consecration of the universe. silence is the invisible laying on of the divine pontiff's hands upon the world. silence is at once the most harmless and the most awful thing in all nature. it speaks of the reserved forces of fate. silence is the only voice of our god.

All Profound Things, And Emotions Of Things

Herman Melville

All profound things, and emotions of things are preceded and attended by silence... silence is the general consecration of the universe. silence is the invisible laying on of the divine pontiff's hands upon the world. silence is at once the most harmless and the most awful thing in all nature. it speaks of the reserved forces of fate. silence is the only voice of our god.

Fate Hands Voice

More From Herman Melville

Fate is a misplaced retreat. many people rationalize an unexplained event as fate and shrug their shoulders when it occurs. but that is not what fate is. the world operates as a series of circles that are invisible, for they extend to the upper air. fate is where these circles cut to earth. since we cannot see them, do not know their content, and have no sense of their width, it is impossible to predict when these cuts will slice into our reality. when this happens, we call it fate. fate is not a chance event but one that is inevitable, we are simply blind to its nature and time.

That, they never could lay their heads upon their pillows; that, they never could tolerate the idea of their wives laying their heads upon their pillows; that, they never could endure the notion of their children laying their heads upon their pillows; in short, that there never more could be, for them or theirs, any laying of heads upon pillows at all, unless the prisoner's head was taken off.

Invisible boy and here we see the invisible boy in his lovely invisible house, feeding a piece of invisible cheese to a little invisible mouse. oh, what a beautiful picture to see! will you draw an invisible picture for me?

All profound things, and emotions of things are preceded and attended by silence.

We tend to think of consecration only as yielding up, when divinely directed, our material possessions. but ultimate consecration is the yielding up of oneself to god. heart, soul, and mind were the encompassing words of christ in describing the first commandment, which is constantly, not periodically, operative (see matt. 22:37). if kept, then our performances will, in turn, be fully consecrated for the lasting welfare of our souls (see 2 ne. 32:9).

But what i would like to say is that the spiritual life is a life in which you gradually learn to listen to a voice that says something else, that says, "you are the beloved and on you my favour rests."... i want you to hear that voice. it is not a very loud voice because it is an intimate voice. it comes from a very deep place. it is soft and gentle. i want you to gradually hear that voice. we both have to hear that voice and to claim for ourselves that that voice speaks the truth, our truth. it tells us who we are.

I know few christians so convinced of the splendor of the rooms in their father's house, as to be happier when their friends are called to those mansions... nor has the church's ardent "desire to depart, and be with christ," ever cured it of the singular habit of putting on mourning for every person summoned to such departure.

A lot of people, to attack an outspoken atheist, one of the things they'll do is say, 'you are as bad as the fundamentalist christians.' and my answer is always, 'i hope so.'

For me the most radical demand of christian faith lies in summoning the courage to say yes to the present risenness of jesus christ.

Those in the circle of christ had no doubt of his love; those in our circles should have no doubt about ours.
