How Could the Body Be Nothing?
Devorah opened her arms to enfold the multitude and said reassuringly, “The power we call God can indeed be reached directly for there is no distance between It and us. It’s awareness is in everyone’s memory and It’s words written on every heart. Yet this awareness and this memory can enter consciousness only where all barriers to truth have been removed. Alas,” she said sadly, “this is not easy. It is a process, not a product. It’s a constant on-going series of moment-to-moment decisions which we, identified with the ego, have little patience for.
“We all have brief, ecstatic direct experiences of our oneness with the Power, but they’re not sustained. To have those experiences more often and sustained longer, shift – shift your identity and intentions from proving separation is real to nurturing your belief and experiences of at-one-ment, work at the invisible level of Source. The ego will yell and scream as you do this but, as the Swami says, ‘the sky is not falling — we are ascending.’”
