Student Talks: 3/4/2022 - Key Lesson: Here is the real reason why so very few ever realize a conscious relationship with the Divine: higher Love is consummated only in the awareness and acceptance of one's own spiritual poverty... so that one's soul is slowly matured through an ever-deepening humility that is, itself, the doorway to Heaven.
