Accept The Long Night Patiently, Quietly, Humbly,

This Withdrawal From The Day's Turmoil Into Creative Silence Is Not A Luxury, A Fad, Or A Futility. It Is A Necessity, Because It Tries To Provide The Conditions Wherein We Are Able To Yield Ourselves To Intuitive Leadings, Promptings, Warnings, Teachings, And Counsels And Also To The Inspiring Peace Of The Soul. It Dissolves Mental Tensions And Heals Negative Emotions.

The Succession Of Thoughts Appears In Time, But The Gap Between Two Of Them Is Outside Time. The Gap Itself Is Normally Unobserved. The Chance Of Enlightenment Is Missed.

Accept The Long Night Patiently, Quietly, Humbly, And Resignedly As Intended For Your True Good. It Is Not A Punishment For Sin Committed But An Instrument Of Annihilating Egoism.

The World Is Our School For Spiritual Discovery.

While The Mind Remains So Fixed In Its Own Personal Affairs, Be They Little Or Large, It Has No Chance To Open Up Its Higher Levels. When Attention And Emotion Are Kept So Confined, The Chance They Offer Of This Higher Use Is Missed. The Peace, Truth, And Goodness Which Could Be Had Are Untouched.
