Along the way they are faced with lessons and tales that guide them on their journey, and put their lessons of love and kindness to practice.
This book is a soul cleanser. The imagery is evocative, but the language is simple. This book does nothing to mask its didactic intentions making it a light, easy read. I advise that you sip it slowly, savour the scripture, read it aloud and meditate over it. ‘Your soul is a lamp that burns best with Oil of Serenity in it’s well. Despair dims the light.’ There’s an old-world solemnity in the style of writing. Its unembellished yet calls for you to unveil its deeper meaning.
This little green book has become my talisman. There are words that have formed my mantra, been inscribed to my moral doctrine and shed a bit of light to my obscure purpose. While I do believe in nurturing spirituality regardless of religion, a lot of this book is based on the Bible, but delivered in a way that’s accessible to all. The language of love is universal. The Credo and the Law of Substitution are both pivotal biblical teachings that illustrate this message. And that is the crucial theme of this book—to drink from the Chalice of Love; to share in what we receive, to spread love, even in underserving places and to know that we are all growing and working on ourselves.
This life is a search for the well that never runs dry. But the lessons always come out in the journey, rather than the destination.
