There was a time when you were not a body or an ego. You were a powerful spiritual being united with God and the entire universe. You knew who you were and enjoyed all the benefits of a divine being. Then a moment came when you ceased to know yourself as a spirit, and you began to regard yourself as a body. That moment occurred in the womb, at the time of your birth, or soon thereafter. You underwent a crucial identity shift. You did not cease to be a spiritual being; you ceased to know yourself as a spiritual being.
