Suspending the driver's license of the senses takes courage. We become so used to the familiar places they take us that we imagine we will suffer if we do not follow their lead. But when the soul leads the journey, the senses follow along and new vistas of freedom and joy open up before us.

We cannot create joy--it already exists, inherent to the soul. We can, however, create misery. We do this by investing in the illusion of being separate from the one life of God.
