“Nobody could ascend before transfigured.”
“An existence transfigured by failure.”
“You are certainly unique. Everyone is unique. Nobody has ever suffered quite like you before because nobody has ever been you before.”
“O mortals, how long will you be heavy-hearted? Life has come down to you, and are you reluctant to ascend and live? But what room is there for you to ascend, you with your high-flown ways and lofty talk? Come down, that you may ascend, ascend even to God...”
“I spit into the face of Time That has transfigured me.”
“When we worship, we ascend, when we ascend we gain revelation from God.”
