The power to become higher is with you. The Spirit resides within you, according to all the scriptures of the world. As in the Bible, it is said that you are to be born again, so you very seriously dress up your child and very serious people go to the church and some priest puts his hand and you are born again. It is such an artificial thing, but we have accepted for thousands of years. Now if you just sit back and see, do you think Christ would have said that to be born again means this kind of a drama? Or is there is something greater living in it because you always talked of a living God? The consciousness has to move higher like a spiral and not like a pendulum. (29.08.1983)
