Anselam, a higher self, writes to teachers Alma and Arn and their family about the Sea of the Self Academy, a school for self-realization: "A strange academy, it began millennia ago, with the dawn of consciousness, and begins again with each new moment. Strange too, with no set enrolment, it opens to single, sincere soul... Other schools claim many goals, but the Academy, only one--to awaken the Power and Wisdom of the self--to create a life of limitless extension beyond the ego, of union with the highest conception and the infinite possibility. In the depths of the Sea of the Self is a great Heart--a single, overlapping reality, a oneness, a closeness, a kinship, a harmony, a love."
