Quotes by Brent Haskell

"Eventually, all of illusion, all of this world,
All of space and time, will pass away.
Indeed, it is not exact to say that they will pass away.
They will be reinterpreted; they will come to be known;
They will be understood in a manner which makes them
Compatible with your real Self, and with truth.

This you cannot do of yourself.
The reason for that is that you, in order to come here,
Structured a part of your mind in such a way
That it truly believes that you are what you are not--
That you are separate, that you are isolated,
That you are alone, that you can be ill, that you can die--
And the list goes on.

However, deep within you lies the truth of what you are.
And it knows that illusion is illusion.
For there always exists within your mind
The idea whose purpose is to guarantee that,
Eventually in your time,
All of your thoughts will be reinterpreted, restructured,
To again become One with the real part of your mind.
And that idea which shall bring you back
To the awareness of your reality is, as I have said,
The Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit, the idea of your Oneness,
Is the bridge between the split parts of your mind,
And was placed there by God (and therefore, by You).
Were it not so you could have imagined yourself separate,
And remained that way forever."

"...in essence the thought framework
Upon which the ego is based
Is separation.
The whole purpose for creating an ego in the first place
Was to attempt to gain some measure of experience
Of what it would be like to be separate.

And so long as you believe in the ego, which is to believe
That your thoughts about who you are are real,
Of that those thoughts have any consequence whatsoever--
As long as you believe either of those--
You are substantiating and supporting
The thought system of separation.

Separation, above all, cannot exist.
For the reality of God is Oneness.
And nothing exists except that which God has created,
And fully extended Himself into.
So there is not only nothing which is not OF GOD,
There is nothing which IS NOT God Itself."
