You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

But what if all the tranquility, all the comfort, all the contentment were now to come to a horrifying end?

The decisive moment in human evolution is perpetual. That is why the revolutionary spiritual movements that declare all former things worthless are in the right, for nothing has yet happened.

Self-control means wanting to be effective at some random point in the infinite radiations of my spiritual existence.

You need not even listen, just wait...the world will offer itself freely to you, unmasking itself.

The state we find ourselves in is sinful quite independent of guilt.

The fact that there is nothing but a spiritual world deprives us of hope and gives us certainty.
