"When all is lost, when all is let go of, when all is abandoned what you are left with is an ocean of bliss.  What you emerged with what you are is an ocean of bliss.  Your cells and atoms and brain and bones and blood stream all of it is bliss."

Previous Quote

The pure Christian State is a State in which theological law prevails. This law attains to real power or, to be more exact, absolute power, when through its results which are identical with those of opium, it puts all parts of humanity to sleep. If some occasionally awake they carry out crimes that horrify humanity which has not yet become Christian in the full sense of the word or has already abandoned the Christian framework.
