The two principles of light and dark are forever at war in the world.

"The two principles of light and dark are forever at war in the

world. If you take sides with darkness, light will attack you,

and if you take sides with light you will be attacked by

darkness. You should know this and be ready to defend yourself.

But you will have to be careful with this too, because it’s not a

question of defending yourself any way you can; the only weapons

you should use are those of light. Yes, for if you fight back

using the means of darkness – hate, cruelty and violence – you

will go crashing down into regions where these hostile forces

confront each other and tear each other apart, and you will

experience darkness and weakness.

Bear this in mind: these enemies are a temptation presented by

the invisible world. To get the better of them, we tend to fight

back using the same methods they use. But enemies can also be a

blessing, if we seek to respond with the higher weapon, light."

Forgetting to Learn

Learning is not the mere acquisition of knowledge and more knowledge. Learning is a process of making quantum leaps beyond the subjective self. No matter how high a summit you may reach, there is always another peak above.

But you can only reach that peak once you realize you are still in the valley.
