The Preciousness of This Moment

The teacher reflects on why identification, far from being merely an obstacle, is essential to the experience of freedom and love at the human level.

Only from that perspective can you see how precious it truly is. There will never be a moment like this one, and there never has been.

The unrepeatable moment

There will never be a moment like this one. Did you hear that? And there never has been one either. That is happening at every moment. The part of us that can identify gives us the perspective from which this is very precious, because to the part of us that is the vaster, infinite, unknown being, it doesn't matter that much. Without identification, we have detached indifference.

Why identification is necessary

That is why there needs to be an identification for there to be the possibility of freedom, the freeing from identification. There is always freedom, but at the level of human love, I see it everywhere. It is the story of Christ. God had to become human and taste what it was to be human. There is no Christ consciousness without that.
