26 - DES
"Consider the spark of your life, what a blasphemy it is. The
sense of wonder reflected in a child's eyes is a thing of more
moment than any cosmic spectacle. For without that wonder,
cosmic affairs are meaningless. But how that wonder is
suffocated and crushed out all too often. Teach your children
to be strong of spirit and wondrous.
"Wonder is slain by conformity, by the Self being
swallowed by the crowd. And, unable to express itself in the
world, the Self withdraws into its own inner domain, and lives
no more in the splendour of the outside universe. 'A magician
is one who dreams outside of his skull'.
"Live then in the world and do not die to the world.
Wonder and infinite expansion, these are the tools for your
survival."
