Pier and Beam

Quote of the Month:

"The soul's communication of truth is the highest event in nature...and this communication is an influx of the Divine Mind into our own mind...Every moment when the individual feels invaded by it is memorable." (Ralph Waldo Emerson)




Falling in Love with the Light

Picture yourself down in a deep, dark cellar. There is a beam of light that breaks through the door above. Your work is to fall in love with the beam of light - to become fascinated by it. Falling in love with the beam of light increases the light. It opens space inside of you for more of the light. Now, without really thinking about it, your false attraction to the dark cellar begins to fall away.

Eventually you climb out of the cellar and on to the earth. Now you can go anywhere you like. For example, there are giant libraries full of books for you to read.

As you continue to love the light more and more, you are lifted off the face of the earth even more. Your home becomes the stars.

Author Vernon Howard conveyed this illustration in one of his classes. He added, "The beam of light will tell you everything - even what books to read."
