I wish I could remember which of the great (classic) motivational speakers talked about the need for "silence, stillness & solitude" but I can't - and Google was no help (except to point out that Eckhart Tolle also spoke on the need for this).
To lower the tone, I'm ashamed to say that when you said "if you want a seat on YOUR throne..." my first thought was about the need to be "Master of your Domain".
Then I got to your next line "if you want to hold and use YOUR scepter..." and I was just hanging my head in shame.
On the other hand I guess I deserve brownie points for managing to connect a 17th century heretical practice with a 90s sitcom?
LOL! You do, indeed, deserve brownie points for that, @lensessions. :-)
Yes, by no means is this a new message. It is perennial. And now, thanks to you, comical!
