Before making peace, war is necessary, and that war must be made with our self. Our worst enemy is our self: our faults, our weaknesses, our limitations. And our mind is such a traitor! What does it?

So it constantly deludes us, keeping us unaware of the real enemy, and pushes us towards those others to fight them, showing them to us as our enemies.

All you need is already within you, only you must approach your self with reverence and love. Self-condemnation and self-distrust are grievous errors.

Deny yourself nothing -- glue your self infinity and eternity and discover that you do not need them; you are beyond.
