both sense that you are still in somewhat of a quandary as to how and
when--(Mother chuckles)--you are any one, or all of these. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In turn, your understanding of these
distinctions greatly influences your understanding of a lot of ancient or even
modern religious and metaphysical texts which often times did not or still
cannot perceive these distinctions themselves. So often in addressing you--your
conscious self you are directly aware of, they mistakenly refer to your absolute
being we call your personality--a creation of God. <SPAN

like looking into conscious reality we quote that old saying for the fourth or

the eye that sees but cannot see itself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Your personality literally contains all of your experience; its sole but
only necessary possession is the growing reality of your soul.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And as a container cannot contain
itself, your personality cannot be outside of itself to perceive itself as an
object of consciousness. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your
personality is the essential you, the total deity-you that real-izes your
experience--makes it real for your conscious self.<SPAN

can be aware of, changes.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You may
think your physical self persists day to day, but if you remember correctly all
your adolescence and childhood years, even who you are physically changes
enormously over the years. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It even
changes--in subjective feeling--hour to hour depending upon your state of mind.

almost totally encompassing your attention in moments of reflection or
stillness, to the opposite extreme when the outer world of your busy physical
activity requires one hundred percent of your focus. <SPAN

fixed memories are also extraordinarily conditioned by your current state of
mind; whether, say, you are maneuvering your high-powered car through very fast,
congested traffic, or you’re nodding off for an afternoon nap, or watching
something on TV that brings up a memory for a few seconds, or deep in your
stillness when some spark of a memory triggers a flood of your soul and somehow
or another for a few timeless moments it seems you are reliving some other part
of your life again: how it looked and smelled, how it felt.

before you ever heard of Michael, or myself, or the presence of God in your

highest writings about humankind and Deity where they assert, as you’ve
introduced from time to time, the notion that everything is God; but where,
obviously now, your conscious self is not.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>They did have experiences where they could realize the oneness of reality
insofar as their conscious self dissolved into it.<SPAN

touching upon a feeling of absoluteness, and intuiting the true fact that
everything is connected with an absolute personal Being—the First Source and
Center of everything.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They evolved
the concepts of omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence to express the
relationship and extent of this primal Being to creation.<SPAN

unforgettable, life-changing experience, especially if it has been sought for a

you do with it?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It transforms
everything you see, and yet you are also confronted with the undeniable
multiplicity of the world, the fact it is not one.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So some of these folks, very sincerely
looking back on their lives before this experience, came to the
feeling/conclusion that their so-called normal or regular life before, of seeing
only the multiplicity, had been some kind of illusion from which they had
awoken; in effect though, concluding that everything is only One—God.<SPAN

may touch upon a human experience of the absolute, but you never become God, nor

infinite point of view, it still remains his own making.<SPAN

illusory, especially the lives seemingly non-enlightened people live.<SPAN
