So we go on through and beyond to the mysterious world of the child—the world where everything is peace and joy and love. And by this world we mean only one thing: we have come to an inner experience of reality. Whatever our faith may be, or whatever our world may be, here is fulfillment. Here is the vision to take on for the first time our real labors in the universe. From this point on, we begin to know why we exist, what we are supposed to do, and how we can serve. We become one with the Law of Enlightenment.

Thus, by this mysterious stepping through the circle in the heart of enlightenment, we move into the beginning of a true birth—a birth not in time, but in eternity. A birth not in body but in principle, in truth, and in reality. In this way we find the elusive child. We discover the home of this mysterious child who lives beyond the stars.

Our problem, therefore, is to try to understand, as much as we can, some of the essential concepts that enlightenment has left to the world. Of course, the greatest of these concepts is the mystery of the child itself. To understand we must try to sit down, perhaps as a child, and experience the world. We must experience the direct impact of the child—not the impact of interpretation, not the struggling of the mind to understand, but the simple, direct acceptance, as of a child, of the mystery and wonder of life itself.
