The wrong organ for spirituality
“Man… may apprehend in his brain and his notions a knowledge of God and spiritual things; yet this not being the right organ for true spiritual knowledge, it cannot profit him towards salvation, but often rather hinders him. And truly, the great cause of the apostasy has been that man has sought to comprehend the things of God in and by this natural and rational principle, and to build up a religion in it, neglecting and overlooking the Light and Seed of God in the heart.”
— Robert Barclay, 1676
Scottish Quaker theologian
