Spiritual State

The spiritual state is the manifestation of the disciple’s attraction, including his physical attraction, towards the spirit.

The heart reacts in this way because it is not used to divine Light and that effects all of one’s being including the body.

Saved by Hope, Faith, and Love

Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope. Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediately context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we are saved by love.

~Reinhold Niebuhr~

Loneliness creates magnum opus

Shakespeare, Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin and Abraham Lincoln never saw a movie, heard a radio or looked at television. They had "loneliness" and knew what to do with it. They were not afraid of being lonely because they knew that was when the creative mood in them would work.
