The more pieces join together, the clearer the image becomes. The more we integrate and live the laws of nature, the clearer the continuity of the universe becomes. When one is acting in accordance with one's True Will, the inertia of the universe will assist her or him. In the end, and in the beginning, there is the continuity of existence. Then there are the words that we use to describe or explain it.
Language falls short of capturing the experience of enlightenment.
The pictures we use to represent and recreate our experience of the divine are all equally inept at describing our relationship to god, each other, the universe. They are also equally true, and the same story told again and again. We act out our myths and our dreams and nightmares, our spiritual experiences a forum for intercourse with the self. Beyond the drama is a point, it is said, where self and Self merge, where god exists only, not as an entity separate from, but inclusive of our own soul. Beyond the astral plane the gods are not separate from the self, the self not separate from god, and existence continuous.
