Robert A. Heinlein
“Anne is God. I am God. The happy grass are God, Jill groks in beauty always. Jill is God. All shaping and making and creating together.”
Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land

Suzanne Giesemann
“Are you familiar with the phrase "to grok"?
It comes from the 1961 novel Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein. The main character is a human raised on Mars whose English language is peppered with Martian words. "To grok something" means to wrap your head around a concept.”
Suzanne Giesemann, The Awakened Way: Making the Shift to a Divinely Guided Life
