Worries over the future, feelings of being unfairly disadvantaged, mistrust of others, and so on: get rid of these thought patterns that are so detrimental to your inner development, for they erode all your energy. Open yourself to everything that’s vast, generous and luminous, expose yourself to the beneficial rays of the spiritual sun. When you have learned to let the light and warmth penetrate you, you will feel yourself becoming a formidable source of energy. For the moment, your only concern is to shield yourself from danger, and by doing this you constantly place screens between yourself and the sun. No, don’t be afraid! You are not being asked to abandon everything that has helped you protect yourself this far, leaving yourself empty and defenceless, no, only to gradually replace all sorts of old things with new, better things: to replace one activity with another that’s more beneficial, one thought with another that’s more elevated, one love with another that’s far greater.
