Said Jesus, "I am the light of the world, and whosoever will believe my teaching shall no longer abide in darkness; let me assure you that victory shall eventually crown our united efforts to enlighten the world and liberate mankind."

Clearing storm on the Sea of Galilee            

      Jordan River near Caesarea Philippi

"O you who are beyond all names,
yet whom we call Father and Mother,
help me to balance power and       compassion,
a woman's gentleness
with a man's strength,
as I open wide the doors of my heart
for the river of the universe to flow       through.
I know that the gates of Paradise,
both here and there,
swing open only to the child.
Instruct me this day
in the art of perpetual childhood,
which truly knows
both honor and humility.
Unfold for me your best kept secret:
how by entering the stream of the       universe,
I may learn to be playful, yet prayerful,
ever-relaxed, yet constantly alert,
always prepared, yet carefree as a       child,
and thus join in the unfolding of the great Supreme."
