How does one chip off the marble that doesn't belong? ... That comes about through five things: humility, reverence, inspiration, deep purpose, and joy. No great man has ever wise-cracked his way to greatness. Until one learns to lose one's self he cannot find himself. No one can multiply himself by himself. He must first divide himself and give himself to the service of all, thus placing himself within all others through acts of thoughtfulness and service.
Lock yourself up in your room or go out in the woods where you an be alone. When you are alone the universe talks to you in flashes of inspiration.
There is no necessity for a technique or formula for meditation. Inner feeling, or inner knowing, is the silent voice of inspiration.
Inspiration comes only to those who seek it with humility toward their own achievements and reverence toward the achievements of God.
