Some of the things she says don't make sense. "The good seems to us as a nothingness, since there is no thing that is good. But this nothingness is not unreal. Compared with it, everything in existence is unreal." The good seems as a nothingness? Since no thing is good? I think there are lots of things that are good. And most good doesn't seem as a nothingness not a somethingness.
"If we find fullness of the joy in the thought that God exists, we should find the same fullness in the knowledge that we ourselves do not exist, for it is the same thought." This doesn't make very much sense to me either, what does she mean we don't exist? And I don't find fullness in that knowledge, I feel a lot of emptiness instead from that thought. We exist because of God, and God MUST exist because we exist.
I really like when she says "Absolutely unmixed attention is prayer." We should be able to take time out of our day to stop thinking about ourselves and everything going on in our life and just give all of our attention to God. It's not fair that we can give unmixed attention to the television but not in prayer.
And I really really like when she talks about perfect and infinite joy existing in God. And nothing can change this infinite joy, it's always there. It's like God is always there and God will always love us and have joy to share with us.
