Why are some seeking the truth and others not?

The man who is not seeking the truth is not seeking it because he was created by a constituent other than the truth, but because he has decided, knowingly or unknowingly, not to remain in the truth, even though he has been allowed to remain in the truth, as Saint Augustine clearly exemplifies it when he is speaking of Evil par excellence: the Devil, or the fallen angel: Ille [Diabolus] homicida erat ab initio et in veritate non stetit... non dixisse Dominum: A veritate alienus fuit; sed: In veritate non stetit, ubi a veritate lapsum intellegi voluit, in qua utique si stetisset, eius particeps factus beatus cum sanctis angelis permaneret (Augustinus, De Civitate Dei, XI, 13)

Those who fasted in the Old Testament did so to invoke great changes in life. Jesus himself fasted for forty nights and forty days and after fasting he was ready and strong enough to resist the devil and was ripe for his minist...

The temple of youth

Guardando l'Amore di una madre con le sue figlie

Siete fatte della stessa pasta Di stesso sangue e spirito apposta Create - e vivete il mondo unite. Solo voi vostra lingua capite. Io curioso vi guardo lontano.
