When the pull towards truth takes root within you, it often feels as though one enters a type of spiritual warfare, where the call to harmony is met with an equal pull of chaos. As the light grows, so does the shadow. The key is to have unshakeable faith in the presence of love.

Action by itself is not enough unless it is consecrated on the altar of being. If we desire a world rooted in love, wisdom, and compassion, then we must embody these qualities ourselves. To receive life as a gift is to realise the gift of life, and the gift of giving is to give it away.

When we look at the human tradition, we want to see spirituality as an indivisible whole and find an inherent and universal mysticism as the underlying movement of all the great religious leaders—whatever path they followed, whatever path they carved, whichever direction they led. And we want to appreciate the perennial, self-propagating wisdom that continues to sprout through pastures, forests, deserts, mountains, and cities all over the globe.

No belief is true, for truth is not a belief. This is why I say that no belief is true, because truth is what is left when all your beliefs are through.
