Greetings, Magda, and good wishes.

I was giving the above 127-year-old quotation the usual charity which is often necessary to appreciate the “old-school” fashion in aspirational writing—until I encountered this additional fragment from the article on your website: 

“. . . spiritual aspirations must have pushed their way out of the dry earth of material associations into the clear air of spirituality before the watchers over the progress of their less advanced brethren [italic added], can dare to water them. . . .”

In my view, it may not be so advisable to base any part of your Psycho-Spiritual development on the childlike hope that eventually Someone “higher” than yourself will, once you prove yourself worthy, condescend to give you a Bigger-Brother hand-up or hand-out.

To me, spiritual help is there perpetually, like the air we breathe. Only we do not recognize it. Keep an open mind and you will find it.
