If we dwell in spirit, or Soul, we are living in happiness, for Soul is a happy entity. It is seldom anything else. When the mind presses in on it too strongly, however, it withdraws and leaves the body under the tyranny of mind.
In my soul, I am free.
The minister and the priest teach that the organization is greater. No great philosophy has ever come from an organization, but from an individual whose research has been a personal study of God and ITS ways.
We never "become one with God" as the metaphysicians or religionists claim. What actually happens is that we become one with Spirit, the essence of God.

Truth, in fact, can never be organized or encompassed by one or the many, for it does not lend itself to this modus operandi.
Then I saw it. You might say it was a mirage, a hallucination, a trick of this world. But then I did see it. The light of God!

Y'know, the real reason why I was such a failure in the sense of being unable to make any sort of a living was because I was really not motivated. I had no motivation.
There is no teacher, living or past, who can give us the actual understanding of truth. A teacher can only put our feet upon the path and point the way. That is all. It is wholly dependent on the individual to make his way to truth.
