Sanctuary

Finding it within our own soul and spirit

August 20th 2025

A child needs to be told stories and shown pictures or objects in order to understand something. Where religion is concerned most human beings are still children. They need external, concrete, tangible things to hang on to.
Imagine if one day, the faithful of the world’s religions were told, ‘From now on, there will be no more places of worship, no more ceremonies, no more clergy, statues or holy images, no more external, material props. The time has come to worship God in spirit and in truth.’ They would feel utterly lost, as though they were in a vacuum. Only exceptionally evolved beings are able to find within their own soul and spirit the sanctuary in which they can communicate with the Lord, in which they can touch and taste and breathe the splendours of heaven.
Of course, such an expansion of consciousness is highly desirable. Those who achieve it are free from all limitations, for the world of the soul and spirit is vaster and more beautiful than any other. In that world they are free to work without restrictions to build a future for themselves as sons and daughters of God.*
