Yes, granted. We are human, filled with foibles, imperfections, faults. Of course, I have those too. I don’t deny that. Many of yours have I also and likewise. We are deluded, prejudiced, selfish, proud, determined to be right about political things and suchlike. I am very much so. We are, to use a term of yours, one I would never, ever, ever – on any condition – ever use: depraved.

Yes. Of course.

I know you are. So am I. Yet that doesn’t preclude the pure spirit within us from being as pure as the light in the source. Light begets light. We are pure light within. It is only a matter of realization. Realization is that eternity is ever and ever is now and eternity is ever now and the kingdom has ever been at hand. And we are eternal. Pure light within light, like waves within the ocean. Realize within. Experience. Don’t bargain. Don’t look around everywhere lost. Now is not to come. Now is evermore.
