I'm thankful my parents obliged me to live with the unvarnished truth: I might not have been a looker, but I was a better speller than the prettiest girl in my class, and I was funnier, too.

This pure I AM state is not hard to achieve and impossible to escape.... You can never run from Spirit, because Spirit is the runner... Why on earth do you keep looking for God when God is actually the looker?

But some of the greatest achievements in philosophy could only be compared with taking up some books which seemed to belong together, and putting them on different shelves; nothing more being final about their positions than that they no longer lie side by side. The onlooker who doesn't know the difficulty of the task might well think in such a case that nothing at all had been achieved.

But men must know that in this theatre of man's life it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers on.
