CHAPTER

What Is Consciousness?

Who you are is not your body. You rent it from hurts or something. Consciousness uses this body. If we could put a little speaker on the heads of everyone sitting in a room together at a meeting, there would be a din. So then who are you is the question. What I am actually is part of the consciousness experiencing this mystery in life. That's part of what nature can do for us. Is it opens that gateway again? I like that. The gates between the worlds open in some way. And we remember all this mystery. It wasn't limited by your body. It was born into your body. This goes back to your question about time and nature.
