"Self-searching
is the means by which we bring new vision, action, and grace to bear
upon the dark and negative side of our natures. With it comes the
development of that kind of humility that makes it possible for us to
receive God's help. Yet it is only a step. We will
want to go further. We will want the good that is in us all, even in the
worst of us, to flower and to grow. But first of all we shall want
sunlight; nothing much can grow in the dark. Meditation is our step out
into the sun."
"A
clear light seems to fall upon us all - when we open our eyes. Since
our blindness is caused by our own defects, we must first deeply realize
what they are. Constructive meditation is the first requirement for
each new step in our spiritual growth."
