| BkI:18.II.3 | The knowledge of who you really are lies in your heart because it cannot reside anywhere else. You are not being told here that books or teachers or structures of any kind are bad or that you should abandon them. Rather you are being told that all those things have simply been loved rungs on a staircase of light that you have already ascended. All were useful. All fulfilled their purpose in time. Now they are no longer necessary, although they can continue to serve you if, as the Christ child you are, you wish not to leave them. We are not advocating sacrifice or deprivation of any kind. We are advocating truth. We are advocating true freedom for the children of God. |
