People will look back at this time as a period of relative calm when the challenges they faced were mostly manageable and the goals they set mostly within their reach—as the period when everyone disagreed about the news and what was really happening because everyone was deluded and unable to face the truth. When you finally see that truth and know it in your heart, this will give you clarity and faith, and the power you will need for the trials that lie ahead.
Very little of what people are presently concerned about will seem significant to them as little as ten to twelve years hence. They will say, ‘Think of the things that we thought of then! Think of the worries that plagued our hours! Who did we think we were? Where did we think this was headed?’
By then they will be awake.
