This is such a beautiful description. I am flabbergasted!!Nefastos wrote:
To "hate" is a strong word, an important word here. One's "hatred" towards his little self - more correctly: restrictions of that small personality - is a must if the other self is to be awakened more & more. It is like the nearly hatched chick must "hate" the eggshell in order to peck itself out of it. The eggshell in itself is not bad but good, but still it must be broken to find a new form of being. This is the death, the purgatory, that people usually go through too late, only after the physical death, while it should be gone through while living in a body, in order to find the "kingdom". That is, the initiations which wake the higher self in the worlds that go through these we all know but are a deeper kind of being.
