Religion is not belief; religion is that which links us to God. And what is life? It is an aspect of God; it is the aspect that enables Unity to appear as diversity, which develops harmonies out of Universal Sound, which patterns mind-stuff and matter-stuff in molds of beauty.
Insight is different from perception in that perception deals with variety, and insight takes one toward Unity. It is the apprehension and comprehension of Unity which leads to the understanding of life. This is a process of the heart, not of the head.
