1:4 1967
When a man becomes trapped in the syndrome of thinking he is alone, he feels the need to
rebel, to prove himself. A child rejected will become a braggard [sic], a liar, anything to get
the attention he so desires. …In man’s search for love, he so often looks everywhere except
inside himself. Self-exploration is the beginning to honestly and honesty is the beginning of
a gratifying personal relationship. The unity of brotherhood is in the palms of our hands,
it takes only need strong enough to see it….Instead of the centuries of misery, the lonely
eons, men should reach out of their own pointless suffering and indulge themselves in the
joy of human closeness….Serenity is attained not by watching by participating in life. Deep
thought should be given to the full meaning of existence until meditation is replaced by feeling
and transcended spiritual awareness begins to flow easily. Thought and the ego are only
guideposts for the eternal road of infinite perception…. - Brother Mark Miller
