(Consitance to our self-respect, to our spiritual quest, and to any true teachers whom we meet will encourage and support our progress. Perseverance in prayer, meditation, and the implementation of spiritual practices will maintain our quest; and if certain of those practicesx are not working for us, perseverance until we find a practices that does will return us to the right path. A questioning toung and heart are also essential as we seek to stay on that path: regular sel-clarification and the self-questioning of our motives, the questioning of teachers and spiritual allies reguarding things that concern us and the questioning of anything within our tradition that is not manifesting the spiritual message will ensure that our path is a clear one, that we are not merely accepting the unclarity of others.)
"Man and Woman become a devil to each other when they do not separate their spiritual paths, for the nature of created beings is always the nature of differentiation."
-Dr. Carl Jung
