Study Everything, Join Nothing.

No Man Who Has Lived Through A Temporary Spiritual Experience Is Ever Likely To Forget It. His Days Will Be Haunted Until He Sets Out To Seek Ways And Means Of Repeating It.

This Withdrawal From The Day's Turmoil Into Creative Silence Is Not A Luxury, A Fad, Or A Futility. It Is A Necessity, Because It Tries To Provide The Conditions Wherein We Are Able To Yield Ourselves To Intuitive Leadings, Promptings, Warnings, Teachings, And Counsels And Also To The Inspiring Peace Of The Soul. It Dissolves Mental Tensions And Heals Negative Emotions.

When Every Situation Which Life Can Offer Is Turned To The Profit Of Spiritual Growth, No Situation Can Really Be A Bad One.

Study Everything, Join Nothing.

Whoever Accepts The Higher Mission Of Art And Comes Nearer And Nearer To It Through His Creative Activity, Will Then Go On From Art To The Spirit Deep Within His Own Self... The Philosophic Search For Enlightenment And The Artist's Search For Perfection Of Work Can Meet And Unite. Art Can Be A Path To Spiritual Enlightenment But Not To Complete And Lasting Enlightenment. It Can Be Born Out Of, And Can Give Birth Itself To, Only Glimpses. For Art Is A Search For Beauty, Which By Itself Is Not Enough. Beauty Must Be Supported By Virtue And Both Require Wisdom To Guide Them.
