"In the spirit world is a beautiful garden, and everything which grows therein is an expression of the spirit of God; the flowers and trees, their colouring and perfume, the song of the birds and the play of the fountains, the layout of the garden itself, are all manifestations of the highest and purest Godlike thought. Angels help to create this garden. In the centre of the garden is a lake of crystal water reflecting the sky and the flowers and the trees, and the reflection makes the garden even lovelier.

As the garden is reflected in the still waters of the lake, so is truth reflected in the heart, but to reflect truth, the heart must be tranquil, serene and still. Be still … and gradually you become aware of the reflection in the waters of the perfect six-pointed Star, and as you gaze, the Star becomes the form of the Shining One.

He/She is by your side.…You meditate together beside the blue lake of peace."
