Teachings Drawn from This Section

  1. Memory of God. Inner war—the cherished conflict within, the belief that you must win or be right—is named as the direct block to remembrance. Peace is not a prize at the end of war; it is the condition in which remembering can be felt. Any demand for sacrifice denies remembrance because sacrifice insists wholeness is not true.
