| The distortions must be reconverted into their original essence. Energy and consciousness can become creative again in | 204 WHAT IS THE PATH? |

| The distortion that marks separation from the divine essence is only temporary. It cannot last. It is | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| experiences of living and increasing perception until its essence is rediscovered. And that is the process of | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| unique, divine manifestation. Consciousness does not change its essence; it changes only its expression. In experiencing and | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| what is perceived is not separated from the essence, even if it temporarily manifests in negativity. So | 222 TRANSFORMATION OF THE LOWER SELF |
| is a permanent reality, always accessible in its essence. Only the disconnected mind fails to perceive divine | 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE |
