Life of Father Hecker

CHAPTER XV
18/25

I feel that essential and interior permanence which nothing exterior can disturb, and no act which it calls on me to perform will move in the least.

It is with a perfect ease and gracefulness that I never dreamed of that I shall unite with the Church.

It will not change but fix my life.

No external relations, events, or objects can disturb this unreachable quietness or break the deep repose in which I am.
"The exoteric eye is double; the esoteric eye is single.
"The external world is divisional; the internal world is unity.
"The esoteric includes the exoteric, but the exoteric excludes the esoteric.
"The man can move all faculties, organs, limbs; but they cannot move the man.
"The Creator moves the creature, and the creature moves the created.
"We know God by looking towards Him with the single eye.
"To-morrow I go with R.W.Emerson to Harvard to see Lane and Alcott, and shall stay until Sunday.

We shall not meet each other, for I can meet him on no other grounds than those of love.
