EIGHTH REALIZATION
This realization is the magic of appreciation. We are enriched and vitalized, strengthened and ordained, by the baptism of appreciation. To appreciate, we must understand. To understand, we must know. To know we must seek. To seek, we must desire. To desire, we must experience. To experience, we must feel.
Thus step by step we move from the temporal to the eternal along a sequence of normal impulses. Attempt the experience of appreciation. Observe, ponder, and wonder a little at the exquisite integrity which is present in everything everywhere in life. To appreciate is to enrich the Self. Yet appreciation demands nothing but the right to be silent and a little humble in the presence of a great good or a great beauty.
