A Library Of Resources For Spiritual Growth
Or we can look at it in another way. Man having put himself rather than God at the center of the universe, constantly tends to turn inward instead of outward. He has made himself the last integration point of the universe. This is the essence of his rebellion against God. Now with God this does not make a problem, for when God turns to himself, he is Trinity, and the members of the Trinity have been having love and communication among themselves before the creation of the world. So when God turns to himself as the center of the universe, there is still communication and love. But when I turn inward, there is no one to communicate with. And so each man in himself is exactly like the bullheaded minotaurus, shut up in his personal solitude in his labyrinth at Crete. This is the tragedy of man. He is not adequate and there is no one there to answer.
True Spirituality - Francis Schaeffer
