“Understand well that when I come to abide with you, I come with a humility born of the recognition of the Great Mystery that has given you your existence. And that Mystery I have called Abba, Father. You have come forth from Pure Intelligence. You have come forth from Pure Love. You have come forth from a Source beyond all comprehension. You have come forth from the Radiance of a Light so bright that the world cannot see it nor contain it. You have come forth from That which, alone, is eternally real. And because you have come forth from It, you are One with It, always. This means that you abide in a relationship — created to Creator, offspring or child to parent — that is so intimate, a bond so deep, that it cannot be broken at any time. As a wave that arises from an ocean cannot be separated from the ocean itself, so too, in each and every moment in your experience, do you abide in a union so powerful, so mysterious, so intimate and immediate that the mind cannot comprehend it. This union, then, connects you, as the created, with the Mystery beyond comprehension that contains every drop of wisdom and intelligence necessary to create consciousness itself. And consciousness, awareness, the power to be aware, the power to choose — this is what you truly are. And if this Source, this Mystery, can birth this most fundamental aspect of Creation, does it not deserve to be called Abba or Father, That which creates like unto Itself? Begin to feel, to know, that if you are aware, in this moment, it is because you are One with the Source of all Creation and cannot be separated from It in any way or at any time.” - Way of Mastery, Lesson 8
