“The soul of Mankind arrives here as a wanderer to the crossroads of earthly life. Nature, culture, time and the unknown converge at this crossroads—acting upon each of us in a coordinated balance of pressures that force the essential man forward through a narrow gate to his life’s purpose.

In this way, we don’t so much choose a path at the crossroads—it’s more likely that earthly life is itself the path we’ve chosen—sometime before we arrived here. Conscious and responsible relationship to the converging forces of our circumstances serve true purpose—that is, to further an eternal process of work, growth and preparation for choices that await each immortal traveler. “
