Teaching pattern
Matthew 11:25 with the root of 'prudent' pressed: it comes from a word meaning those who pray and act piously - so what is hidden is hidden from the pious and from the wise men, the scientists, and given to babes. Would you tell a scientist that his imagination is creating this world of confusion? He could not believe that an attitude brings about a change in the visible world; but if a man can predetermine an attitude, where is causation? Causation is within the imagination of man.
