Whenever the world seems to
get the best of me, whenever I feel it closing in on me, I go
to a quiet place that lies somewhere in my soul. I do not reason,
analyze or think. Those will come later. I simply go. And as
a frightened child finds comfort and strength in a loving parent,
I find my God and a band of loving Invisibles. From this place
of power, I garner strength to stand firm in the face of fire,
to be calm in the midst of thunder. When I emerge from this sanctuary,
the world has not changed but I have. And in my changing a whole
new world is born.
-- John Harricharan

The day will come when, after
harnessing the ether, the winds, the tides and gravitation --

harness for God the energies of love. And then, on that day,
for the second time in the history of the world, man will have
discovered fire!

The greatest good you can do
for another is not just to share your riches, but to reveal to

Some luck lies in not getting
what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which
once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you

If you want joy, power, peace,
eternal life, you must get close to or even into the thing that
has them. They are not a sort of prize which God could, if He
chose, just hand out to anyone. They are a great fountain of
energy and beauty spurting up at the very centre of reality.
If you are close to it, the spray will wet you: if you are not
you will remain dry. Once a man is united to God, how could he
not live forever? Once a man is separated from God, what can
he do but wither and die?
-- C. S. Lewis
