Nature soothes us. Nature heals us, and something more, the woods are a place of power. Any woods that are still surviving on this planet, those are powerful areas to have kept themselves free from the encroachment of the industrial societies of our earth.

Humility does not live in the prison of illusion that says that this world is a dark and terrible place. Those perceptions are phantoms; everything is eternity, God, divine.

When you realize that the ego is making you miserable you don't identify with it. You identify with your soul's humility and the ego dissolves.
If you seek eternity and light and luminosity, seek humility first ... first things first.
Humility is the most important quality in the spiritual life. When it is lacking spiritual growth stops.
Become conscious of what you think during the day. A negative thought will enter you. At first it will be vague, innocuous, but then it will root in your consciousness and soon it will be impossible to eradicate.

Your life will be joyful and complete when you have a pure heart and your motives are unsullied.
There is only one prayer and that is prayer for light, for purity, for perfection.
