I
would say that most of us stay locked in our separateness, and we are
very frightened of coming out of it. We feel very vulnerable. In truth,
you are not vulnerable at all… You just think you are vulnerable. Who
you think you are is vulnerable; who you are is not. This is the truth
of it. That’s what Christ was saying over and over again, but nobody
seemed to want to hear him. It’s very hard to open your heart when you
are not vulnerable, but your experience says that you are.
When you are in the presence of unconditional love, that’s the optimum
environment for your heart to open, because you feel safe. You realize
nobody wants anything from you. The minute that heart opens, you are
once again letting in the flow, and that flow is where you experience
God.
