If we no longer wish to name it, it is out of a sort of modesty or because we are not worthy of it or for fear of a confusion with yet another religion, or else in derision for so many counterfeits, pretences and spiritual ambitions observed or encountered on the way – and also, at times, in awe, or weariness before the formidable persistance of our mediocrity. For the ordinary human consciousness is at once like the opaque jar shutting us in – and protecting us from the infinite – and the leaden weight that keeps us down and immersed in the subconscient = it is for each of Her children to persevere in the offering and the aspiration. And to be together doing so, to be together learning and developing a new receptivity, like a new organ, is our privilege and our responsibility.
