"You are already surrounded by the permanent Creation, but your eyes cannot see it, your ears cannot hear it and your fingers cannot touch it because your senses were only established to recognize physical things and things that are moving, objects that are moving and sounds that are changing."[1]
Directives
"Doubt what is doubtful. Trust what is certain. Doubt what is temporary. Trust what is permanent." [2]
“Forgive what is fallible. Honor what is infallible. And learn to tell the two apart.”[3]
“Learn to value that which is certain and to understand that which is uncertain, to recognize that which is cause and that which obstructs cause but which may in time serve cause itself.”[4]
What is permanent within you
"What is permanent within you is Knowledge. Your intellect is a vehicle for Knowledge. It is temporary. Knowledge is the permanent and the immortal part of you. To find a permanent life, you must venture beyond your temporary life. To find a permanent intelligence, you must be willing to pass through your temporary intelligence. Accept what is permanent and what is temporary here." [5]
Permanent accomplishment
