Much in the book is meant to be motivational. Some repetition will be found in this book, both within the text itself and in regard to my previous writings. I make no apology for this. The new context of both the teaching and the reader will make it a new experience. We need to hear basic things again and again, in different ways, from different angles.
Repetition is the mother of wisdom.
There is the direct, which penetrates immediately into the depths of Reality. There is oblique contemplation, which reaches the Divine through the contemplation of the creation within which he hides and through which he can reveal himself. And finally, there is circular contemplation. We, as it were, circle around the object and see it from many different angles, gradually being drawn into the fullness of its Reality. This book invites that kind of consideration.
