The goal of the mystical life is for us to become beholders of God in action, where we ascribe nothing to ourselves~ not even good motives. We no longer have desires. We no longer have needs... This is called "living by Grace."... If I prayed for something, it would mean I have a desire, an end, an object in life that I am seeking. But I have nothing to pray for. I have only this minute to live, this minute in which I must be fulfilled by the Spirit... That is what the mystical life is~ attaining that degree where every day you find yourself not wondering about tomorrow because there is no tomorrow for you; there is only a tomorrow for God.
~ Joel S. Goldsmith, Living By Grace
