Some decades ago, in her more immature and salad years, Sally was bent, she tells, on advancing spiritually come hell or high water. At the time she was regularly visiting a well-known spiritual leader in Europe to help speed up her transformation. Several hundred other seekers and devotees were also regularly visiting this leader. They seemed advanced and perhaps they were.

When we allow the Creator/the Pure Source/ the Divine to transform us as only It can, we "know" in a way that is beyond words, books, and self-improvement programs. That does not mean that the latter have no value. The years we have spent sincerely investigating paths to transformation or enlightenment, the years we have spent reading so many spiritual books, the times we have spent diligently practicing this method or that gave us much information. But they didn't give us the knowledge that actually transforms or enlightens the spirit. All that effort, the accumulation of all that information prepared the groundwork for the gift of Knowledge. We were letting the Creator know that we craved union, that we were wholehearted in our search for direct connection to the Pure Source, to the Divine.
