Inner vs. Outer Guidance
 Because physical beings have forgotten the existence of their own inner guidance mechanism, they look outside of themselves for the guide posts or the book of rules or the groups of powerful influence for rules of right and wrong. (For if many believe something is right than surely it must be so.) And as they look outside into the inconsistencies that abound into the vast divergence of intentions and beliefs, they find only confusion.

In a world full of others, all wanting you to think and speak and act as they would have you, you cannot base your actions on the approval of others. There are too many diverse measures of justice and right and wrong. Too many critics demanding specific action from you.

Your most important work--that which is the very basis of your accomplishment, achievement and satisfaction from this life experience -- is finding your true sense of self, becoming aware of your own inner guidance system.
Abraham -- "A New Beginning II"

I didn't use the traditional rendering of a priest to symbolize (looking outward) spiritual authority but chose the stained glass window to represent the Church/ organized religion. The keys remind me that we can unlock our own inner knowing if we seek within.
