“The Ascension happens in solitude, it is a long and twisty journey during which it is not possible to skip any stage, no obstacles can be ignored and no test avoided. Our inner temple is not only in the centre of our soul and conscience, is also at the pinnacle of our pains, our desires, in that inaccessible place of our mental geography where the atmosphere is so bright and clear that everything living and growing in it seem to be animated by the same clearness and presence of happiness.
