Key Lesson Part 1
The spiritual journey is not a movement through time, as if one travels from “here to there”; rather, it is an indwelling realization of the interaction of celestial forces giving birth to an immaculate conception; and where, for one’s awareness of this relationship, one's sense of self ceases to be a mere effect -- an unconscious byproduct born of being identified with some passing event -- and instead, one begins to realize oneself as a partner in the Divine revelation of Life.
Part 2
There is no sensitivity in any (familiar sense of) “self” born of being identified with what it imagines it “knows.” The flower of higher self-awareness grows only from out of the ground of unknowing.
