Birds swim in the air
Fish fly through the sea
We walk through heaven
In God's mystery
There are clues everywhere

Meditation begins when the effort required to concentrate gives way to a steady flow of attention. The approach to meditation requires some expenditure of energy like an airplane on the runway that builds speeds and energy to the point of lift off. Meditation is above the clouds of thought.

When you realize the distinction between effort and intention you have discovered one of the keys to success. Train yourself to work first in consciousness before springing into action. Establish your goal in mind and open yourself to possibility.

The sure indication of spiritual progress is the positive transformation of character. Visions, ecstasies, and philosophical insights that do not make us more compassionate, peaceful, and trustworthy people are just fireworks that fizzle.

Keep the goal of God realization ever in the background of your mind. Let it provide a litmus test for all you seek to do. Will your choice support your goal of spiritual awakening? Choose the way that ever leads toward the light of truth.
