The shattering s~unds of man's screaming drowns the paeans of peace.Only in the truth that is found in the hidden center will be found myBeloved's face.The little self of man flits like a twittering bird in a rosewood tree.Never still, never silent, never knowing the fruit of the fiower.Yet when the sounds are gone and darkness has drowned the forms intothe nothingness of not knowing. God remains.God outlasts us all-each and everyone.And in so doing he will claim us all and the veil will be burned.As the morning sun consumes the fog at dawn.The key for man is alignment.The answer is not in abstraction but in combining what one may have inthe way of mental enlightenment and so-called conscious intelligencewith the highest spiritual insight that can be provided. With thispremise, spiritual achievment is a certainty of all certainties.One must also have the stability of strength that permits a posture ofpurpose in an environment that is ever changing and at best hostile.It is the soul that is sending forth the challenge.It is the mind that says to set aside the patience of understanding whichresults in powerful protest and the destruction of equipoise.The way of the Path is seen with a steady inner vision, divorced from theouter manifestations of mind.You and I are not here to prove or disprove immortality.Nor are we here to know or not know survival.Our purpose is comradeship.. .Our companion in life is to be found in one whose life is love ....Our companion in life is to be found in one whose life is God.When you have fulfilled this purpose as stated by all lovers of God, youwill reach unity. No longer will disunity sever your search for happiness,contentment will be yours.And when you havc found contentment and happiness you have walkedthrough the door of illusion into the realm of reality.You have no opportunity to resign from your desire to find God.The challenge of the soul is as eternal as the soul itself.It gives no rest from minute to minute-hour to hour-day to day-weekto week-year to year-birth to birth-age to age.You have belonged to God since the beginning of time. And there was nobeginning. You are-you are of God-and in your essence there isnothing but God.Be thankful if you are short circuited from the consciousness of the crowd.The responsibility you bear to self supercedes all else.When you assume this responsibility you will be so re-oriented, that worldsupon worlds will kiiow your strength.The challenge that is laid before us is not an easy one.We have asked for it, and our longing has brought it into our consciousness.It will never leave and will ever be a stimulus to our search.
