To The Warriors Of Light, There Is No Such Thing As Impossible Love. They Don’t Allow Themselves To Be Intimidated By Silence, Or By Rejection. They Know That – Behind The Icy Mask People Wear – There Is A Heart Of Fire. That Is Why The Warriors Risk More Than Others. They Tirelessly Seek Love – Even If This Means Hearing, Many Times Over, The Word ‘no’, Returning Home Defeated, Feeling Rejected In Body And Soul. Warriors Don’t Allow Themselves To Be Discouraged. Without Love, Live Has No Meaning.

I Was Trying To Come Round To The Idea That There Might Be An Invisible Reality Capable Of Interfering In Our Lives, But The Only Reason I Did So Was Because Of A Love I Didn't Want To Believe I Felt But Which Was Continuing To Grow In A Subtle, Devastating Way. I Was Content In My Universe And Didn't Want To Change It At All, Even Though I Was Being Propelled In That Direction.

Only Children Believe They're Capable Of Everything. They're Trusting And Fearless; They Believe In Their Own Power And Get Exactly What They Want. When Children Grow Up, They Start To Realize That They're Not As Powerful As They Thought And That They Need Other People In Order Survive. Then The Child Begins To Love And To Hope His Love Will Be Requited; And As Life Goes On, He Develops An Ever-greater Need To Be Loved In Return, Even If That Means Having To Give Up His Power. We All End Up Where We Are Now: Grown-ups Doing Everything We Can To Be Accepted And Loved.

The Importance Of This Has Been Completely Forgotten: Even Religious Holidays Have Been Transformed Into Opportunities To Go To The Beach Or The Park Or Skiing. There Are No More Rituals. Ordinary Actions Can No Longer Be Transformed Into Manifestations Of The Sacred. We Cook And Complain That It's A Waste Of Time, When We Should Be Pouring Our Love Into Making That Food. We Work And Believe It's A Divine Curse, When We Should Be Using Our Skills To Bring Pleasure And To Spread The Energy Of The Mother.
