Your body is merely a machine made to express the thoughts that flow through you and nothing more. It is but an instrument for you to express your imagings just as a piano is an instrument for a musician to express his imagings. Just as the piano is not the musician, so, likewise, your body is not you.

Those things that I must do I shall desire to do.
Walter Russell
Image
The beauty of a piece of music is not in its technique but in the Soul of its creator nor is it in the sound vibrations of the piece but in the silence of the Light from which the sound springs.
Walter Russell

This whole electric universe is a complex maze of similar tensions. Every particle of matter in the universe is separated from its condition of oneness, just as the return ball is separated from the hand, and each is connected with the other one by an electric thread of light which measures the tension of that separateness.
