He who has no vision of eternity has no hold on time.
No amount of outer technology, no amount of computers and biotechnology and nanotechnology is going to stop the continuation of warfare and racism and environmental destruction.

I want that love that moved the mountains. _x000D_ I want that love that split the ocean. _x000D_ I want that love that made the winds tremble. _x000D_ I want that love that roared like thunder. _x000D_ I want that love that will raise the dead. _x000D_ I want that love that lifts us to ecstasy. _x000D_ I want that love that is the silence of eternity.
We are the mirror, as well as the face in it. _x000D_ We are tasting the taste of eternity this minute. _x000D_ We are pain and what cures pain. _x000D_ We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours. _x000D_ Soul of the world, no life, nor world remain, _x000D_ no beautiful women and men longing. _x000D_ Only this ancient love circling the holy black stone of nothing. _x000D_ Where the lover is the loved, the horizon and everything within it.

Every present moment will offer itself as a window onto eternity, a doorway to the infinite.
But love me for love's sake, that evermore_x000D_ _x000D_ Thou may'st love on, through love's eternity.
If you will make your first concern the comfort, the well-being, and the happiness of your companion, sublimating any personal concern to that loftier goal, you will be happy, and your marriage will go on through eternity
I believe in an individual soul which travels through eternity. This life is far from all there is--in fact, it is a minute part, simply an antechamber, a deciding place where we choose the light from the dark, where we come to know what we truly value.
