The professors in the academy say, "Do not make the model more
beautiful than she is," and my soul whispers, "O if you could only paint the
model as beautiful as she really is."
(Extract from one of Gibran's letters dated 8th November 1908)

Each and every one of us, dear Mary, must have a resting place somewhere. The resting place of my soul is a beautiful grove where my knowledge of you lives. (Extract from one of Gibran's letters dated 8th November 1908)

Let me, O let me bathe my soul in colours; let me swallow the sunset and drink the rainbow.
(Extract from one of Gibran's letters dated 8th November 1908)

When I am a stranger in a large city I like to sleep in different rooms, eat in different places, walk through unknown streets, and watch the unknown people who pass. I love to be the solitary traveller !
(Extract from one of Gibran's letters dated 16th May 1911)

Imagination sees the complete reality, - it is where past, present and future meet... Imagination is limited neither to the reality which is apparent - nor to one place. It lives everywhere. It is at a centre and feels the vibrations of all the circles within which east and west are virtually included. Imagination is the life of mental freedom. It realizes what everything is in its many aspects ... Imagination does not uplift: we don't want to be uplifted, we want to be more completely aware.
(Gibran's words quoted from Mary Haskell's journal dated 7th June 1912)

I want to be alive To all the life that is in me now, to know each moment to the uttermost.
(Gibran's words quoted from Mary Haskell's journal dated 7th June 1912)

I realized that all the trouble I ever had about you came from some smallness or fear in myself.
(Extract from Mary Haskell's journal dated 12th June 1912)

Mary, what is there in a storm that moves me so ? Why am I so much better and stronger and more certain of life when a storm is passing ? I do not know, and yet I love a storm more, far more, than anything in nature.
(Extract from one of Gibran's letters dated 14th August 1912)

The most wonderful thing, Mary, is that you and I are always walking together, hand in hand, in a strangely beautiful world, unknown to other people. We both stretch one hand to receive from Life - and Life is generous indeed.
(Extract from one of Gibran's letters dated 22nd October 1912)

The First Insight - A Critical Mass

Also known as the Insight of Awakening, it focuses on the mysterious coincidences in everyday life. For centuries, we have been discounting these coincidences as pure chance. As we begin to explore the spiritual dimension of our existence, we experience things that cannot be dismissed as chance.


The Second Insight - The Longer Now

This insight represents an awakening from material security and comfort. When we understand the historical momentum leading us to a more spiritual life, we understand the Second Insight.


The Third Insight - A Matter of Energy
We, as humans, can project our energy by focusing our attention on the desired direction (where attention goes, energy flows), influencing other energy systems and increasing the pace of coincidences in our lives.


The Fourth Insight - The Struggle for Power

When we feel weak and insecure, we tend to manipulate others to give us the energy we need. By successfully dominating others, we feel more powerful, but they are left weaker and often fight back. Competition for scarce human energy is the cause of all conflict between people. We must learn that we need not steal energy from others because we have a divine source of spiritual energy at our disposal.

You are not stuck in time like a fly in a closed bottle, whose wings are therefore useless. You cannot trust your physical senses to give you a true picture of reality. They are lovely liars, with such a fantastic tale to tell that you believe it without question. You are sometimes wiser, more creative, and far more knowledgeable when you are dreaming than when you are
awake.

You create the world that you know. You have been given perhaps the most awesome gift of all: the ability to project your thoughts outward into physical form.

You create your own physical reality; and en masse, you create both the glories and the terrors that exist within your earthly experience. Until you realize that you are the creators, you will refuse to accept this responsibility. Nor can you blame a devil for the world's misfortunes. You have grown sophisticated enough to realize that the Devil is a projection of your own psyche, but you have not grown wise enough to learn how to use your creativity constructively.

Consciousness is a way of perceiving the various dimensions of reality.

You form the physical body that you know at a deeply unconscious level with great discrimination, miraculous clarity, and intimate unconscious knowledge of each minute cell that composes it.

The self that you know is but one fragment of your entire identity.

Nothing exists - neither rock, mineral, plant, animal, or air - that is not filled with consciousness of its own kind.

If you have a friend, you have deserved a divine gift. The loyal, sincere, disinterested friendship is the true communion of the souls. It is but strong that the love, because this it is usually jealous, selfish and vulnerable. The true friendship lasts and it strengthens through the time and the distance. It is not needed to frequently see the friend so that the friendship lasts. Coarse to know that he/she will respond when it is necessary, with act of affection, of understanding and even of sacrifice. The friendship is not conquered, it is not imposed, it is cultivated like a flower; it is paid with small courtesy details, of fondness and of loyalty, it is watered with the alive waters of indifference and of silent affection.
