| the outer world Life experiences are the outer symbol
of what the soul wants to know
Each soul enterd into a physically symbolized reality
of that soul's conscious resistance to the inner Light.
So when you experience your human life,
view it as the outer manifestation of the longing,
and also of the denial of that longing.
Every soul that incarnates carries with it negativity
or it it would not take birth at all.
When you enter into a human life
you enter into a perceptual falsehood.
This is what the Eastern traditions call illusion.
If you treat illusion as truth
you may become embittered, fearful and ill.
Instead, come into life assuming the perspective
of the creator of that life,
and see it all as a wondrous
and valuable learning experience. You can see within each circumstance
where you have been the potter of the clay
and in the outer reality of your creation
you can detect the mirror image
of your inner self
