As soon as the bustling activity of our self, which willfully pervades external things, no longer stands in our light and obscures it, we see God directly before our innermost hearts. God proves himself to us as the radiant sun which alone can bring enduring life. He leads on the new day, His day, which judges the darkness of the life of self, and seeks to redeem each individual to the light and unite all under His sway.

- Eberhard Arnold Innerland
