| Summary |
|
Excerpt |
|
This book shows us that our 'personality', that inner force of which we are all aware and which so
often leads us astray, can be a precious ally rather than an enemy. Instead of waging a losing
battle against our lower nature, we can learn to control and use it to elevate ourselves. In doing
so we gradually discover the existence of a higher psychic power within us, our 'individuality',
which is above all contingencies and conflicts and is capable of using them to create inner harmony
and true fraternal bonds.

Why is sacrifice of such tremendous importance in all religions? Why did they immolate
animals, sometimes humans, in the past? Why was it important to make frequent sacrifices
to the gods, to Jehovah? Why does it say in the Bible that the smoke from sacrifices was
a pleasing odor to the Lord? What was the meaning behind the sacrifices? And why, with
the coming of Jesus, did that all change? From then on it was no longer calves and lambs
that man was asked to sacrifice, but hi inner animals, that is to say, his weakness and
passion, his greed and lust, his sensuality. That is the true sacrifice, to give up one's
instincts and transform the brute force within into pure, luminous, sublime energy.
