inside nor outside the One . The One is immanent in us. When we say
the world is an illusion it is because it is changeable and
destructible. It is not permanent. Space and all that is in it has
sprung from the One , and the One itself is pure Spirit. Our
individual identities are for a time being only , in actuality the One
is our real self. There is no such thing as my spirit or your spirit ,
there is only the One Spirit and it is the Absolute.
