Always the world around us mirrors the world within. We cannot create outside what we do not know on the inside. For always life is a strange reflection into which we gaze.

If you long to know love, become the lover. If you seek wisdom, become wise. If you would know truth, become truthful. Few indeed are those who will embody what they most desire. No, that would take too much time , that would require too much devotion. And so they wait. They wait for someone else to come and to gift them with what they lack in themselves and they become a distorted creation pretending to be what they are not.

Go inward and discover that the wise one, the lover, and the sage are all within your own heart. Do the work that is yours to do that they might be freed. For they are imprisoned under the debris of your own vanity and self doubt, your pretense and self loathing, your fear and self righteousness.

It will take a great endurance to break the bonds that tie you to your smaller self . Be one of the very few who will not stop on the plateau of comfort, but will press on into the dark forbidding places hidden in the valley below. For that is the only way to uncover the treasure that lies there buried. And once you find that jewel beyond price, carry it with you to a high mountain top from where it can catch the light of Heaven and spread a rainbow of beauty to all the world around. This journey to the centre of the hidden treasury of your own being is the only true gift you can give creation.
