WE ARE SPIRIT
WE ARE SPIRIT, DIVINE EMANATIONS
Realizing your life is not your own, but always in the power of grace, relieves you of stressful distemper .
No longer need you fear death, any more than you fear life . You are a drone of God, clothed in flesh, as I.
The peculiarly human perception of oneself as being divine and human is a personalization, a construction.
Any earthly personification of self, any individualization of ourselves as living ever separately, severally as human beings, who are distinct from nature and from God, is an illusion, is a delusion, is confusion.
Though we all are here, we did not choose to be here; we only came to realize one day that we were "here" -wherever it is 'here' is-after being here, discovering limbs, lives, here.
Becoming acclimated to our being here, most of us humans would rather prefer to remain here in our adopted home on planet earth.
But we do know that the mirrors who made us, who introduced us, to this physical, material, plane of being, chiral-like, have left us also.
I am me as you are you seemingly. This consciousness is but another construction, since Spirit is Spirit. We are Spirit: divine emanations, who are here to do the will of God.
