Only the Mind is capable of illumination

Spirit is already illuminated and the body in itself is too dense. The mind, however, can bring its illumination to the body by recognizing that it is not the learner, and is therefore unamenable to learning.

The term mind is used to represent the activating agent of spirit, supplying its creative energy. Few appreciate the real power of the mind, and no one remains fully aware of it all the time. The mind can think it sleeps, but that is all. It cannot change what is its waking state.

Complete abstraction is the natural condition of the mind. But part of it is now unnatural. It does not look on everything as one. It sees but fragments of the whole, for only thus could it invent the partial world you see.

The journey to God is merely the reawakening of the knowledge of where you are always, and what you are forever. It is a journey without distance to a goal that has never changed.
