    If this world were to lose the last awakened man or woman, the world would be over, immersed in a dream from which it would never awaken. As such, a debt is owed to those through the millennia who have acted from a conscience based in an understanding that can't be corrupted by desire.

    As your awareness of the natural laws that currently govern your actions increases, so does your ability to make choices based on higher knowledge instead of being blindly guided by ignorance. Spiritually speaking, this is the beginning of the development of true free will.

    Participating in a spiritual school accelerates an aspirant's life as they are brought into, and nourished by, the pool of experiences of the group itself.

    In all true spiritual work there is a time to be active and a time to be passive. In order to receive, you must first give.

    As your relationship with spirit strengthens it acts as a wedge and becomes a source of woe to the nature that it reveals. But just as you understand that the arborist loves the tree that he prunes, you come to appreciate the blows of spirit's sword upon you.

    When it comes to talking about what is good and true, most people can barely speak their heart. One reason to be in this school is to get your heart opened up so that there's a channel between the divine love and the part of you that is meant to naturally express it.

    When you are asleep, it isn't that you forget yourself, it's that something from your memory remembers what it wants to remember. It can be said that reincarnation is inescapable if the only thing that remembers your life is who you have been. These classes are to awaken in you a memory of what's higher.

    Real love isn't convenient, and it forces you to see what isn't good in you. The purpose of the work is to strip away all of the intellect's excuses about why you are the way you are. You know you're getting closer to heaven when you have less interest in saving what cannot be redeemed.
