Text: "Meditation" "I. Introduction" "In this material world we are conscious of the phenomenon of growth. We should be equally aware of spiritual progression that includes both a broadening of understanding of the relation between the Creator and ourselves, and a definite improvement in capacities for more useful lives. Too much stress has been placed upon the desirability of escaping from physical existence. The average indivudual has come to look upon spiritual things as being intangible and ethereal, unconnected with normal life. "The eternal question that runs through life is this: What is truly valuable in thought, in activity, and in experience? Only from within can come a stable estimate of what is worthwhile. This sense of appreciation or this inner realization is based fundamentally upon an understanding of self - self in relation to others and self in relation to God. Meditation is the means to this end. >From _A Search for God, Books I & II_ (www.arepress.com)
