Simple Faith

You can commune more freely with God when you are free from earth-clamour.  There are greater achievements born out of the unseen and unknown than were ever born of the visible and much applauded activities of man.
Rest, sleep, the peace of spiritual tranquillity, were ever more prodigious with growth, with achievement, than the restlessness of man's waking hours.  Visions and dreaming are held to scorn by modern man; and sleep is but an inconvenient intrusion upon busy life which he cannot avoid.  But I tell you that pure dreams are the life of the Spirit when the Soul relaxes its autocracy of Mind and man consorts in the spiritual, the plane of true being.  There is no meaningless incident in the life of man in his waking hours; neither in his sleeping hours when his will is temporarily suspended from conflict with  the spiritual truth.
Man must learn to become more still within himself and so become aware of the realities of life; a preparation for the life to come.  'Sleep awhile and dream', God gives all rest.  And death is but a little sleep and a glad awakening.
