As you live the story you gradually come to understand that what you are really doing is gradually remembering something you already knew, a reality you always came from….
The Royal Art is increasingly an Art of Remembrance:
- Plato: recollection;
- Israel: “remember” as covenantal imperative;
- liturgy: making sacred events present through remembrance;
- Gnosis: remembering divine origin;
- Grail: recovering what was lost;
- alchemy: uncovering hidden gold;
- ACIM: remembering God;
- the Prince: remembering his name and inheritance;
- the Western soul: remembering its scattered spiritual biography;
- the Astral Library itself: memory palace of the Prince.
Why does truth so often feel less like learning something new than recognizing something forgotten?
