WHEN THE SPIRIT HUNGERS -
"As our lives become more comfortable, many of us lapse into spiritual complacency, and risking relapse, we find ourselves in the same horror and loss of purpose from which we have been given only a daily reprieve. (The BasicText, p. 95)
WE DIVE WITHIN TO FEED THE HIGHER SELF -
"As we have seen, self-searching is the means by which we bring new vision, action, and grace to bear upon the dark and negative side of our natures." "We will want the good that is in us all, even in the worst of us, to flower and to grow." (12 & 12, p. 52)
"He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God."
- Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC) Greek tragic dramatist
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
