Preface
Each essay presents a core inspirational idea, followed by an expository review of the idea and its suggested implications. Many of the ideas stand in direct opposition to the ego. As such, they may be difficult to accept, at least at first. As you progress through the essays, it is hoped that the Truth that stands behind them will begin to come to the forefront of your mind, washing away the dissolution and despair of the ego and replacing it with the Light of Love.
Capitalized words are intended to refer to and be regarded from their universal aspects, representing the totality of all that each particular word can imply, rather than their specific and individually isolated meanings. Many of these essays present definitive and direct statements. The use of imperative statements is not intended to imply that you are expected to simply accept what is presented without due consideration.
Many passages in these essays are as much metaphorical as they are literal. You are not asked to merely ingest wholesale what is stated without comparing it to the compass of your personal beliefs. Instead, you are strongly encouraged to use the essays as jumping off points which may help to spark a deeper inquiry into your own heart, a process that must involve an entirely personal journey into that which you find to be true for you.
