The World Is A Self-Creating Mystery

The world as pure object is something that is not there. 

It is not a reality outside us for which we exist....
It is a living and self-creating mystery of which 
I am myself a part, to which 
I am myself, my own unique door.
~Thomas Merton, Contemplation in a World of Action

Be Faithful To Your Indispensable Self

Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself - and thus

make yourself indispensable."
