Pseudo-mysticism seeks to evade reality; authentic mysticism wants to live it.

Vernon Howard

You are not separate from the flowing reality; you are that flowing reality. See this and you will not see any- thing else which conflicts with it. You will be what you see.
VERNON HOWARD

What you really want for yourself is always trying to break through, just as a cooling breeze flows through an open window on a hot day. Your part is to open the windows of your mind.
