Marcel Proust, Neale Donald Walsch, Conversations with God, and becoming new

excerpted from THE WAY OF WONDER: a return to the mystery of ourselves, by Jack Haas

“The real act of discovery consists not in finding new lands

but in seeing with new eyes.”

Marcel Proust

         Once again, in order to start back at square one, without a hint or clue about what we are, why we are, or where we are going, we must not seek to find something, we must seek only to lose everything. And what remains, after all the dross of the mind is cleared away, is the fresh witnessing of the living, unfathomable spirit, which we will never see until we have stopped seeing the world and ourselves the way we have been shown to see these all along, which is to say- falsely. We must exorcise the old, before we shall give birth to the forever new.

“To re-create yourself anew always...

this is the purpose of life.”

God
