perceptions and expectations...

What is strange is that the experience which comes with the Overself visitation assumes any one of a wide range of feelings,

from the most delicate to the most overwhelming.

With time and growth it may become well settled, or--though rarely--its light may shine from the beginning.

There are even other possibilities.

It is safer to keep out the preconceptions and the expectations, safer too if the ties of books and bibles are left outside for a while.

That is, accept the freedom of utter surrender to the Overself, of dissolving in it and letting the wind blow where it listeth.
