"The kingdom of God is within you'"corresponds to the sense of taste. This spiritual sense perceives that God is not just close to us, but that weare rooted in him. The food we eat is taken inside of us and becomes us through its transformation into cells in our body. In a sense, we become what we eat. In the transcendent relationship, we become cells in the Body of Christ, the new humanity whose eyes and ears are opening to reality at its deepest level.Keating, Thomas, Awakenings (New York: Crossroad, 1997), 39.
