Society is like a crowd in carnival costumes with everyone fearful that others will see through his disguise.

We can accept God becoming Man to save Man, but not Man becoming God to save himself.

Suppose you stand on a high place to enjoy the beauty of the sparkling sea below. You need do nothing to create that beauty; you need only BE IN THE SAME PLACE WHERE IT IS, and let nature do the rest. So it is with the inner life. There is nothing we can DO to gain psychic beauty. It already exists without our effort. We need only be where we belong, that is, in self-union. Then, beauty IS.

We are exactly where we have chosen to be.

Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn, and you will.

Have the daring to stop doing the things you really don't want to do. Can you see them? Look closely. Can you observe the many things you do because you reluctantly feel you should or must? Watch closely. Examine every action and reaction. Do you act naturally or do you act because you feel compelled? If you feel compelled, stop. Compulsion is slavery. Example: Refuse to go along with the crowd.

A perfect method for awakening is to examine the results of our daily actions. If they are harmful, we know we need more consciousness.
