We are summoned into the presence of God by the fact of our birth,
but we become present to God only by our consent. Growth in faith is growth in the right perception of all reality.
As our faculties and capacities to relate gradually develop and unfold,
the capacity to enter a relationship with God increases,
and each new depth of presence requires a new consent.
Each new awakening to God changes our relationship to ourselves
and to everyone and everything else.
Thomas Keating, Intimacy with God
