Self Is The Root, The Tree, And

The Will Is That Which Has All Power; It Makes Heaven And It Makes Hell: For There Is No Hell But Where The Will Of The Creature Is Turned From God, Nor Any Heaven But Where The Will Of The Creature Worketh With God.

All That Is Sweet, Delightful, And Amiable In This World, In The Serenity Of The Air, The Fineness Of Seasons, The Joy Of Light, The Melody Of Sounds, The Beauty Of Colors, The Fragrancy Of Smells, The Splendor Of Precious Stones, Is Nothing Else But Heaven Breaking Through The Veil Of This World.

The Sun Meets Not The Springing Bud That Stretches Towards Him With Half The Certainty That God, The Source Of All Good, Communicates Himself To The Soul That Longs To Partake Of Him.

Men Are Not In Hell Because God Is Angry With Them. They Are In Wrath And Darkness Because They Have Done To The Light , Which Infinitely Flows Forth From God , As That Man Does To The Light Who Puts Out His Own Eyes .

Receive Every Day As A Resurrection From Death, As A New Enjoyment Of Life; Meet Every Rising Sun With Such Sentiments Of God's Goodness, As If You Had Seen It, And All Things, New-created Upon Your Account: And Under The Sense Of So Great A Blessing, Let Your Joyful Heart Praise And Magnify So Good And Glorious A Creator.
