In her autobiographical book Flora Courtois wrote:
"Sometime during my 17th year, quietly, unobtrusively, a process began which was to build up over a period of several years until it literally took over my life. This began with a growing sense of doubt which spread until it encompassed everything I'd been taught and everything I knew."
Later, she wrote:
"In a vague, groping way I now began to search for ......some one basic Reality so primary that it permeated all else."
She describes her state of mind two years later after much searching:
"I finally decided that Reality must be unlike any preconceived idea I might have of it and reached a point of just waiting and letting be. For long periods I simply sat, saying inwardly, 'No, not this,' as if waiting, for what I knew not."
A few weeks later her world turned inside out. ;D
