As we have seen, self-searching is the means by which we bring new vision, action, and grace to bear upon the dark and negative side of our natures. It is a step in the development of that kind of humility that makes it possible for us to receive God's help. Yet it is only a step. We will want to go much further.

We will want the good that is in us all, even in the worst of us, to flower and to grow. Most certainty we shall want bracing air and an abundance of food. But first of all we shall want sunlight; nothing much can grow in the dark. Meditation is our first step out into the sun. How, then, shall we meditate?

The actual experience of meditation and prayer across the centuries is, of course, immense. The world's libraries and places of worship are a treasure trove for all seekers.
