The harsh, or otherwise cruel judgment of yourself feels like it's part of what's necessary to perfect yourself when, in truth, it's actually the mechanical action of the unconscious mind punishing itself for not being as it's imagined it ought to be.

The true test of our actual level of understanding is how we respond to those moments in life when we don't understand why life unfolds as it does.

The better the instrument, the nearer the actual replication to the original principle. We are meant to be sensitive instruments whose purpose is to let God's hand play His notes through us.
