From Page 58:
?“We must escape ?‘from the prison of our own self-hood?’ so as to ?‘enter by love into union with the Life Who dwells and sings within the essence of every creature and in the core of our own souls.?’
Until we have managed this escape, we will not be seeing things as they really are. Indeed, the very things that God has created to attract us to the divine self will keep us away from God. For we will linger on them, making them the objects of our self-seeking, instead of letting them lead us to God.
It is only when we are delivered from self-seeking that we are free to seek God and nothing else. Freedom means, therefore, the complete destruction in of all this selfishness.?”
