"Far and near are points of view; male and female are points of view; suffering and happiness are points of view. All incarnations are points of view; they are as much of a lesson as ice is water, and water is steam. These points of perspective can be experienced as a lesson, to explain to your brain how one point of view got to another, as from A to B. However, your spirit is already at C and D, and E and F, and so on. When you are one with your spirit, it is no longer necessary for you to experience Self as a lesson, only as an eternal experience of Self joy. The ultimate state of joy is the state that requires nothing else to exist; it accepts there is only joy, and everything else is an illusion. Always follow your greatest joy, and it will lead you to your greatest wisdom."
