Source, Course, and Goal

Photo by Tejas Paranjpe

“Can you be separated from your life and your being? The journey to God is merely the reawakening of the knowledge of where you are always, and what you are forever. It is a journey without distance to a goal that has never changed. Truth can only be experienced. It cannot be described and it cannot be explained.”¹

— A Course In Miracles

Establish yourself firmly
in the awareness of 'I AM.'
This is the beginning, and
also the end of all endeavour.²

— Nisargadatta Maharaj

The goal,
if we can speak of a goal
on the spiritual path,
is not to be attained in the  future…

It is within us.
It is our essential Self.
We cannot go towards it;
we relax back into it.
We are revealed as that.³

— Rupert Spira

…Now we are no longer
separated from our source,
and behold we are the source
and the source is us.

We are so intimately united with It,
we cannot by any means
be separated from It,
for we are It.⁴

— Abraham Abulafia
