Eternal Companions of Love


Book Description

Thus, we are entities, as Beings of Light—subjects of illumination or enlightenment. We are also Soul-possessing—that which allows us to see and hear creation with the Eyes and Ears of our Creator. We are Spirits of Life and Intelligence—that is, endowed with those imperceptible fields of activity that give rise to the powers of attraction and repulsion, growth, instinct, rationality, and Faith. Here, Faith represents a sense of belongingness and relationship to everything, slowly growing as a state of Knowingness and Lovingness that fills one’s heart.
