See then the mercy and courtesy of Jesus. Thou hast lost Him, but where? Soothly in thy house, that is to say, in thy soul, that if thou hadst lost all thy reason of thy soul by its first sin, thou shouldst never have found Him again; but He left thee thy reason, and so He is still in thy soul, and never is quite lost out of it. (John Climacus)

Can we lose what remains with us?

We can misplace, neglect, and worse... but Jesus remains with us.

Jesus abides with us even when we have forgotten him.

Many religious people mistrust reason, preferring the emotional encounter.

Climacus seems to say that spiritual rediscovery comes from self-examination, self-criticism, and a careful consideration of reality.
