But keep looking. Not anxiously, not expectantly. just... keeping a gentle watch. Needing to
see nothing.., ready to see anything.
Now, the first time you do this, or the tenth time, or maybe the hundredth or the thousandth
time you do this, you may see what will look like a flickering blue flame, or a dancing light. It
may appear in flashes at first, then steady itself in your sight. Stay with it. Move into it. If you
feel your Self merging with it, let that happen.
If that happens, nothing more will have to be said to you.
What is this blue flame, this dancing light?
It is you. It is the center of your soul. It is that which surrounds you, moves through you, is
you. Say hello to your soul. You’ve just found it, at last. You’ve just experienced it, at last.
If you merge with it, if you become One with it, you will know a sublime fullness of joy that
you will call bliss. You will discover that the essence of your soul is the essence of Me. You
will have become one with Me. For just a moment, perhaps. For only a nanosecond. But that
will be enough. After that, nothing else will matter, nothing will ever be the same again, and
nothing in your physical world will match it. And this is when you will discover that you need
nothing and no one outside of yourself.
That seems a little scary, at some level. You mean I won’t want to be with anyone else ever
again? I won’t want to love anyone, because they can’t possibly give me what I’ve found
within?
I did not say that you would never love anyone or anything outside of yourself. I said you
would never need anyone or anything outside of yourself. I will say again, love and need are
not the same thing.
If you truly have the experience of inner oneness that I have described, the result will be just
the opposite of what you fear. Far from not wanting to be with anyone, you will want to be
with everyone—but now, for the first time, for an entirely different reason.
No longer will you seek to be with others to get something from them. Now you will yearn to
give something to them. For you will desire with all your heart to share with them the
experience that you have found within—the experience of Oneness.
You will seek this experience of Oneness with everyone, because you will know that it is the
truth of your being, and you will want to know this truth in your own experience.
This is when you will become “dangerous.” You will fall in Jove with everyone.
Yes, and that is dangerous, because we human beings have created a life in which feeling
Oneness with everyone all of the time gets us into trouble.
Yet you now also know the causes so that you can avoid all this.
