Discovering our immortality
Waking up is a wonderful thing to do. Especially when it’s waking up to what is true about ourselves as God’s loved children—His own image, or expression. This is a spiritual awakening, in which the material sense of life begins to give way to intuitive perceptions of our spiritual identity, and we start to discover the immortal goodness that constitutes who we really are.
The concept of ourselves that we see through the material senses doesn’t begin to reveal what we really are. Whether it seems happy or not, healthy or not, the sense of ourselves as mortals provides only a limited, uncertain, and ultimately misleading picture.
At times, though, individuals do get glimpses of who they really are. Glimpses of the unselfish love that they are truly capable of as the offspring of God, divine Love. Glimpses of their integrity as the offspring of Truth, and the beauty of their character as the image of Soul. These qualities must certainly have their source in God, Spirit, since matter, including brain, cannot produce such qualities.
