exchange was entirely silent. Embracing me
with a warm and loving hug, I became
transparent as his height blended with my
lowness, in a communion meant to bring my
spiritual energies higher. As my energies
began shifting, I suddenly...
Looking closer, I suddenly
recognized this spirit as the higher self of
one of the souls I'd been watching over.
Pulling back, his peaceful eyes conveyed
appreciation, and I knew that he was
thanking me for working with an aspect of
himself on the ground which remained
completely unaware of our work. "You're
welcome." I conveyed sheepishly. (The
higher self is that part of a soul that is closest
to God, and that there are many aspects on
the various levels below it manifesting in
myriad worlds and those manifestations are
as different from their source as God is from
his many creations.)
"The entire matter of reaching union with
God consists of purging the will of its
appetites and feelings, so that from a human
and lowly will it may be changed into the
divine will, made identical with the will of
God."
