Renounce all private feelings or even seemingly compelling evidence.

Never be troubled by these periods of darkness. (…) Have complete trust in Him – and let every thought and inner exploration lead to a feeling of total surrender to God and His infallible and loving guidance. For this purpose, renounce all private feelings or even apparent evidence.

(Pierre Teilhard de Chardin SJ /1881–1955/, letter to his cousin, February 12, 1919;
quoted from the book Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, The Birth of Thought. Letters 1914–1919, Malvern 2021)
