We don't see the world as it is, but we see the world -- and everything else -- as we are. How we see ourselves colours everything we do. It is the lens through which we perceive the world. In our spiritual path, God can open our eyes so see our true nature and life, as it subsists in Him, and through this vision we live a life of "trembling delight". Religion would have us cower from God in trembling fear, but Love brings us into the Trembling Delight of a God Who is thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying.
