Truth is within ourselves; it takes no rise
From outward things, what'ere you may believe.
There is an inmost centre in us all,
Where truth abides in fulness; and around,
Wall upon wall, the gross flesh hems it in,
This perfect, clear perception -- which is truth ...
and to KNOW,
Rather consists in opening out a way
Whence the imprisoned splendor may escape,
Than in effecting entry for a light
Supposed to be without.
We believe profoundly in silence -- the sign of a perfect equilibrium.Silence is the absolute poise or balance of body, mind and spirit.If you ask us: "What is silence?" we will answer: "It is the Great Mystery!"The holy silence is Great Spirit's voice!"If you ask: "What are the fruits of silence?" we will say: "They are self-control, true courage or endurance, patience, dignity, and reverence.Silence is the cornerstone of character.
