To
me, the most exciting experience I can have is the arrival of an
insight that puts all of life in a fresh perspective. The hallmarks of
an arriving insight are a sense of "aha!", joy, unity, awe and wonder.
Insight is a personal presence who visits us, as the Greeks understood
in talking about the "Muse" as a feminine being, and as Christian
mystics realize when they call her "Sophia Wisdom."
Without her, life would be colorless; WITH her, it shimmers with
radiant meaning. As the prophet so aptly puts it: "Without a vision,
the people perish."
