Spirituality As Overwhelming Love
- Spirituality is the experience of being unconditionally loved by a power greater than yourself and wanting to love others in return.
- This inner awareness shaped Ed Bacon's life from a childhood moment of warmth and light.
Practice Stillness Regularly
- Make time for stillness so your inner clarity settles like silt in a basin and you can access clear awareness.
- Practice regular quiet to let the 'still small voice' of guidance emerge from beneath noisy thoughts.

- Spiritual pioneers often face intense pushback just before breakthroughs, like a shaking cockpit before breaking the sound barrier.
