The Heart of Matter: We Are Not Meant To Control Nature
Tuesday, August 16th
“…the fact is, earth is the primary reality and we are derivative of earthly life. God was creating long before we arrived on the scene. We are not meant to control nature, but instead to be its mind and heart as it seeks its ultimate fulfillment. If we seek to manipulate nature, it will rise up against us.”
Ilia Delio, Hours of the Universe

“Lo cierto es que la Tierra es la realidad primaria y que nosotros somos una derivación de la vida terrestre. Dios estaba creando mucho antes de que nosotros entráramos en escena. No estamos destinados a controlar la naturaleza, sino a ser su mente y su corazón mientras busca su plenitud final. Si pretendemos manipular a la naturaleza, esta se levantará contra nosotros.”
Ilia Delio, Hours of the Universe
