"There is no more exultant joy than this experience of the world of the 
Real.  The sense of all-embracing freedom, the feeling of unlimited 
expansion in a Mind which is the Reality of all that we call the 
universe, the sense of containing all that lives, in such supreme bliss 
that, even if we have but experienced it once, nothing can really matter 
afterwards, nothing can ever shake us again.  This is the greatness of 
the actual inner experience of the realities of the divine Mind, and no 
theories, no intellectual juggling, no cynicism or scepticism can ever 
again affect this experience in the slightest.  Theosophy is the 
experience of the Eternal, the abiding Reality; it is the experience of 
the divine Mind, the experience of the world of God the Holy 
Ghost."      J.J. Van der Leeuw, THE FIRE OF CREATION, pp65-66.
