Spiritual Teachings
In the moving clouds of the sky, in the faded
running roar of the waters below, I begin to lift.  
The tiny dots of dark birds wind and whirl, and the
shadowy trees of the forest that surrounds me bend
and sway.  The grey grass of the earth too is
whispering in the winds as they shimmer and
dance in their moving currents.  I am ascending.  
Now behold!  From the dense fog and mists, the
darkness of the Great Mountain, vast and looming
rises high in the sky!  Now I am aloft, drifting
aimlessly in existence!  I don't know anything
anymore, I am lost.  What Beauty, what Truth!  To
breathe the breath of the sky, to transcend even the
thin air!  What peace exists, what oneness.

-Tod
On Meditation
To Meditate successfully, one must merge with all her surroundings.  She must
go deep into herself and discover the great treasure!  She must become a living
prayer, having no beginning, and no end.  Such a one must become endless.  The
divine must unfold in all her surroundings!  Inwardly, she has become what she
beholds, she has found the source of the heavens and earth.
If you would like to learn the way of the Living Prayer and become a Meditator,
sit with Tod in stillness, begin a golden path of inner glory and calmness.  She
who would be inspired and encouraged, she who would have courage, let her
come forward and receive her reward!  Don't waste your true value!
