unequal to the task, you want to shelter in the comfort of an idea. This is
not Reality, it is but an illusion.
Life is Real, Life is the only Reality, It is complete in Itself expressing
Itself freely when the “individual self” becomes nothing. You can never know
what It is but you will know that It is Real, and your mind will no longer
be agitated by the worship of virtues and the horror of sin. Nor will you
follow in the narrow path of ethics which prevents your understanding.
When you mould yourself after a pattern, there is fear. To be without
fear you must know yourself to Be, understanding your vanities, jealousies,
envies, cravings, longing, hopes, regrets and fears. Fear disappears when you
seek understanding from the illusion of time.
If we can perceive our own emptiness and understand it, then we can
dissolve the cause of our emptiness, then there will be true understanding
of Life in the present which is Eternal. Then the ever-expanding consciousness
will always be the Reality, while all external to Itself can be discerned with
wisdom.
It is the one Infinite Life that is ever expressing Itself in Love and
Wisdom. Only when you limit Its action through narrow bigoted beliefs
do you prevent Its freedom in your own life here and now. This separation
in the mind of man is surely coming to an end.
John 10: 34-36 Jesus answered, “is it not written in your Law, ‘I said,
you are gods?’ If the Law said that they were gods, to whom the word of
God came—and scripture cannot be broken—do you mean to tell me, whom
the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘you are blaspheming,’ because
I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?”
