It is only in Samadhi that you'll begin to get an inkling of who you are and finally, it is only in nirvana that this perfect truth will become clear.

Finally, we see that there is no one and nothing but God.
Frederick Lenz

I enjoy the writings of all of these authors and they have been very inspirational for me. But I think that it is important as writers of metaphysical, New Age, occult fiction and nonfiction to not take ourselves too seriously.

We have to push ourselves to stillness - to the natural state.
