There is a demoralizing cleavage between what man is and whatĀ he wishes to appear to be. When hypocrisy comes into play itĀ works much greater havoc within oneās own psyche than in theĀ outer sphere. The perceptible damage in the outer sphere is great,Ā but the unperceived damage in the spiritual realm is stupendous.
The truth of oneās own perception and realization is the only roadĀ by which wholeness may be restored to the inner psychic being.Ā In no other way can man obtain release from the chains that tieĀ the limited ego-mind to the colossal cosmic illusion which hidesĀ from him the perennial spring of the Divinity within.
