“There is a silence that is so peaceful that it fools us into believing that it defines the quiet place where one meets the Divine. In reality, entering into this silence is only half of the journey because it is beyond this quiet place that we must travel, beyond this place which has lulled us into such a false sense of peach—there we will find journey’s true end. We must travel further than the silence to find our way home to universal peace and love. Beyond the silence and prepared by the Ultimate Host, there is a celebration awaiting us—a loud, raucous, energy-packed experience of endless creativity and perfect merriment. If anyone should know how to throw a party, it surely must be the Source of creation itself.”
