There is a moment in the dawnwhen your soul returns from a voyagewith the spark of your own lifeand you awake full of new experience.There is a moment in the glare of the daywhen bent upon the work at handyou suddenly see from the side of your eyethat you are at one with the whole universe.There is a moment in the twilightwhen the first star appears in the skyand you do not know how much earlieryou might have seen it had you looked.In these moments are the dawn, and noon,and serene sunset in ourselves.

March 17, 1852 ("As if in sleep our individual fell into the infinite mind, and at the moment of awakening we. . . take up our bodies and become limited mind again. . .There is a moment in the dawn, . . . when we see things more truly than at any other time.”); April 1, 1860 ("As if we only thought by sympathy with the universal mind, which thought while we were asleep. There is such a necessity to make a definite statement that our minds at length do it without our consciousness.”)
July 20, 1852 ("We see the first star in the southwest, and know not how much earlier we might have seen it had we looked.")
July 3, 1840 ("We will have a dawn, and noon, and serene sunset in ourselves").
