“Humanity has always had access to spiritual techniques to access the light directly. The discipline of meditation, for example, is a simple practice of controlling the mind, turning within, and accessing the light through one’s higher spiritual centers. If one accesses a higher consciousness in oneself, there is no longer a wall.” – Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee

“The Sufis describe how we need a separation between the worlds, 70 veils of light and darkness or the glories of his face would burn away everything. As I know from my own experience, the light of the divine is too dazzling to perceive it directly. Its energy is too strong. This is one of the reasons why spiritual life is a slow process, a gradual lifting of the veils as one develops spiritual strength, becomes more and more able to bear the light.” – Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
