And just as you are about to cross the threshold, suddenly it&#8217;s all righted.<br \/>\n<P>I thought I was the only one experiencing that, and I was happy to do it for everybody, but evidently some people feel it also &#8211; you feel it.<\/p>\n<p><i>Oh, do I!

And it shows there&#8217;s a sort of &#8230; difference &#8211; a<br \/>\nmere difference of attitude; a difference of attitude: the body can either fall<br \/>\napart or be transformed. And it&#8217;s &#8230;<P align=\"center\"><font size=\"2\">Page 251<\/font><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><P>&nbsp;almost the same procedure; only the attitude is different. If you have<br \/>\nabsolute trust in the Divine and feel to what point the Divine is everywhere and<br \/>\nin everything, if you want to depend only on the Divine, belong only to the<br \/>\nDivine, then it&#8217;s perfect. But the least conflict &#8230; and it&#8217;s like the gates of<br \/>\ndeath suddenly yawning.<\/p>\n<p><i>Yes.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><P>Strange.<\/p>\n<p><i>Yes.
