"Each of us is a book, one which we ourselves are in the process of writing. Our thoughts and feelings trace the letters of a script which will be engraved in the matter of our subtle bodies. But how many of you know this? How many of you have consciously begun to write your own book?

Human beings have always been taught to work exclusively outside themselves. It is true that they succeed magnificently at this, but their inner world lies fallow. And all these creations they are so proud of do not really belong to them: they are external to them and will therefore disappear. Only the work done on one’s own matter is inscribed for all eternity. You will say: ‘But as these creations are internal, they are no good to anyone.’ You are quite mistaken: a person who creates himself, who writes his own book, is a benefactor to all his brothers and sisters, because he is a living book which fills them with its warmth and light."
