The reality that we face as we learn to love ourselves, the reality that we face in stillness, can be hard, but seeing it heals us. If we can learn to see reality, it heals us. Just the seeing of it, just the living with it is healing. It brings us to a new kind of spontaneity, a freshness of life, a directness of experience, the spontaneity of a child, a spontaneity we must recover in order to enter the kingdom. It is the spontaneity of true morality, of doing the right thing naturally, not of living our lives by rule books, but by living our lives by the only morality – the morality of love.
( Aspects of Love 2, by Laurence Freeman )
