And when through My Passion you reach perfection you will never be done praising My Name."[326] — Saeed Malik

I become energetically unstuck, allowing the pain to pass through me. — Romany Malco

New approaches are needed, new orientations in both thought and action. We must make the transition to a new civilization ... We are talking of a transition toward a new civilization.
