Let us learn the revelation of all nature and thought;
the Highest dwells within us, that the sources
of nature are in our own minds.
As there is no screen or ceiling between our heads
and infinite heavens, so there is nor bar or wall in the
soul where we, the effect, cease, and God, the cause,
begins.
I am constrained every moment to acknowledge a higher
origin for events than the will I call mine.
There is deep power in which we exist and whose
beatitude is accessible to us.
Every moment the individual feels invaded by it
is memorable.
It comes to the lowly and the simple; it comes to whosoever
will put off what is foreign and proud; it comes as insight;
it comes as serenity and grandeur.
The soul's health consists in the fullness of its reception.
For ever and ever the influx of this better and more
universal self is new and unsearchable.
Within us is the soul of the whole; the wise silence, the
universal beauty, to which every part and particle is
equally related; the eternal One.
When it breaks through our intellect, it is genius;
when it breathes through our will, it is virtue;
when it flows through our affections, it is love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
