Lesson #6

The camaraderie of food, close friends in peace knowing we do not have to attack each other or worry about being attacked. The knowledge that we each are the hall and outside of the hall is the world but inside the hall, we have, on a daily basis, the choice of how we are to live think and act gives us power tonight .

Feasting in Valhalla

 

The gate of choice is in the wall,

Holy, before the holy doors;

 Fine is that gate, and but few know

How it is locked.

Questions we consider in our attempt to overcome obstacles to the hall of the elect.
