Necessity Quote by Robert Wolfe
““Being omni-present—as every spiritual and religious tradition declares—it must of necessity be as immediate to us as is our every heartbeat, our every breath. Therefore, there is nowhere that we need to go, and nothing that we need to do, in order to be “in contact” with the Absolute.””
