Nothing is to be done out of jealousy or vanity; instead, out of humility of mind everyone should give preference to others.

Daily Reflection

We would like to thank all our friends who supplied us with these 'Reflections of Life' which we are sharing with the Internet Community. We encourage you to purchase the books from which these reflections are quoted!

Socrates said that the unexamined life is not worth living. Sooner or later we all ask deep within ourselves: What is life for ? It is an important and sometimes painful question. But it is a question that must be asked.

To find the meaning of life we have got to embark upon what Dag Hammarskjold once called "the longest journey, the journey inward" to the centre of your being where answers are not memorised but are very much alive.

It is a reluctant journey as Carl Jung describes:

"Wherever there is a reaching down into the innermost experience, into the nucleus of personality, most people are overcome by fright, and many run away....The risk of inner experience, the adventure of the spirit, is in any case alien to most human beings".

This is the Way that you are being called to walk along, through which you will meet yourself.....and your Creator....
