“In the practice of self-reflection and the practice of attuning to the sacred, we gain visions and experiences of a world, of a consciousness and of a reality different from that in which we daily live. The sacred world has a quality about it that calms the dynamics of unbridled egoism. The driving need to survive, to compete and to win, retreats in the face of the sense of the true Self and the sacred nature of all life. The challenge, then, is to remain true to that sense of the Self.”

Written by William Bloom in an extract from his book ‘First Steps: An Introduction To Spiritual Practice’.
