Until each of us realizes that Individual and Spiritual part of ourselves by whose Light we know it is enough just to be who and what we are -- that shows us everything we will ever need to be quietly content is already provided for us -- not only will the personal peace for which we long keep slipping from our grasp, but our world will continue to find that Real Peace remains just beyond its...
We can and must begin to understand the spiritual life before we can live it. But we can't begin to understand something that is above us until we begin to see it.
We will never again hope, in vain, for a "better time to come" once we realize this spiritual truth: the character and quality of all our moments ahead are determined by what we give ourselves to in the now.
