“What They Really Are”
“The tragedy, as the couple knew, was that all these deformed creatures were actually Beings of Immaculate Light. They all were, in Essence, nothing but Pure Consciousness. But the Light of that Consciousness, as a result of thousands of lifetimes spent in ignorance, had gotten almost completely obscured by the accumulation of dirt on Its mental lens. The Light still shone in Perfect Dazzle, but so much dirt had gotten heaped onto the mind’s mirror that it no longer reflected more than a glint of the Vast Light. The result being billions of souls wandering around in tortured confusion, imagining themselves as only bodies and egos when they were actually Infinite Being. They were princes who believed themselves paupers, Cinderellas who had convinced themselves they were nothing more than charwomen, billionaires who wondered where they might find a dime.” (from “Enlightened Relations: The Life in a Day”)
