  4. Simone Weil:

    There is something else which has the power to awaken us to the truth. It is the works of writers of genius. They give us, in the guise of fiction, something equivalent to the actual density of the real, that density which life offers us every day but which we are unable to grasp because we are amusing ourselves with lies.

  5. H.W. Mann:

    In truth, true love is beyond thoughts and emotions. When we begin to spiritually awaken, we realize separation is an illusion. At the source there is God consciousness. We are individualized units of that reality we call God. We are individualized units of consciousness. We are temporarily in the human condition. But ultimately, we are one. That realization brings about a state of consciousness called love. It is understanding of the oneness of creation. We are all in this together.
