We have so much, it’s easy to forget some of it. I had a recent conversation with someone who had never thought of this world being like a womb. I’ll see if I can talk to her again and tie all this in to the conversation. Thank you!

In this death to ego, we awaken to the awareness that we are not isolated fragments but rays of the infinite sun, drops in the endless ocean.

To “drown in the depths of eternity” is to immerse ourselves in the reality of the divine, to live as if eternity is not merely a distant promise but a present truth. This practice requires courage, for it asks us to confront the impermanence of our mortal lives, but it also offers liberation—the knowledge that what is essential in us, our soul, will never fade.

Thank you.
