How Could the Body Be Nothing?
“Of itself,” Devorah said, “the body is nothing, an entirely neutral thing in the service of either the ego – the thought that we are separate from the power we call God, or the still small voice – the thought that we are, always have been and always will be, at one with the Power, with each other and all of creation.” Devorah sighed and smiled. “Our purpose in life is for each of us, in our own ways and in our own situations, to demonstrate we are not egos – to have the courage to allow our reality as the Power’s peace, joy, love, compassion, and radiant good health, to shine the ego’s nightmare dream of the world.
“To shift our attitudes, to realize there will be fear, resistance and reluctance and shift anyways. As the Swami says: ‘I have expanded my mind so much I can no longer fit through my door … I had to go to a shrink.’ To accept at-one-ment with the Power for ourselves. For it is only when we have accepted It for ourselves, as the individuals we think we are, that we can share it with others, and it is only when we give It that we know we have received It.”
