" You must be born again"...

"'Ye must be born again' -- of the Spirit. You must cease from being mortal man; you must rise in consciousness to the awareness of yourself as pure Spirit, Life and Soul. You must see and understand 'this world' as a mirage, an illusion, a mesmeric suggestion and not attempt to heal it, pray for it, save it or redeem it; but see it for what it is -- a false concept of Reality, a dream-picture. 'Awake thou that sleepest and Christ shall give thee light.' When we awaken from this dream world, we will 'see Him as He is,' and we will then be satisfied that all is well and will 'be like Him' -- spiritual and perfect. Must we die to awaken to this Truth? No. We must know, understand and acknowledge that what we behold is not the world of Reality, and God is not in it; but seeing through it we behold 'the temple not made with hands' -- the spiritual universe here and now."

-- from Joel Goldsmith's "Spiritual Interpretation of Scripture"
Chapter - Basis of Understanding
