Got a new book.  I'm only a few chapters into it, but I like what it has to say.  One quote I found interesting is from Ralph Waldo Emerson:

 

"I behold with awe & delight many illustrations of the One universal Mind. I see my being embedded in it.  As a plant in the earth so I grow in God.  I am only a form of him.  He is the soul of me... A certain wandering light comes to me which I instantly perceive to be the Cause of Causes.  It transcends all proving.  it is itself the ground of being; and I see that it is not one & I another, but this is the life of my life.  That is one fact then; that in certain moments I have known that I existed directly from God, and am, as it were, his organ.  And in my ultimate consciousness Am He.
