Transmutation

When we fully open to and move beyond our physical senses, fully open to and move beyond our ratio intellect, into the further realms that we are, we find the symbols that we use to describe the world to ourselves, the symbols that we have thought of as out there, and with which we have thought to perhaps some day attain an eternal existential nearness (e.g.,"the Lord," "Enlightenment," "Buddha Nature," "Angelic Being," "Continuous Cash Flow," "Every Desire Satisfied," "The Great Harmonious Hum," "Eternal Adventure"), are symbols of what we already are. Projection disappears. Merge occurs.

To put it into the Christian realm, the Jesus that we worship is the Jesus that we are. We are the symbols that we adore. When we allow the bounds, the boundaries, that we have kept in place so long out of fear, anger, or ignore-ance to dissolve, to disappear, we take our place in the cosmos as Energetic Beings.

Of course, many folk wish to keep the duality, the separation. In the past, the dualists have killed folk who ventured further. And, whether slain or not, after the spiritual adventurists were safely dead, proclaimed them as secular or religious saints, worshipping their bones and their memory -- a very clever way to keep the duality going.

I say again, the living breathing symbols that give our life its meaning are who we are. This is the realm of Integrity.
