“If you have not by nature a critical mind your staying here is useless.”

“ ...the inner world cannot be reached by the personality, for personality is alien to it. This is very hard to accept. 

 It is very hard for us to picture what we would be like without our pesonality .”

J.G.Bennett, The way to be free, pag101

Each day will be approached with the common aim,
To gain a deeper understanding of our place in the Work, as well as a
wider vision of our life in general.

"...only he can  cross who has some possibility of changing.

This possibility depends on desire, strong wish of a very special kind, wishing with the essence, not with personality."
