a fluid state. For example, the less you fear your repressed anger and the more you learn 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES
that it should be completely without anger, rage, fear, pain, or sadness. This idea is distorted and 203 INTERPENETRATION OF THE DIVINE LIGHT SPARK INTO THE OUTER REGIONS - MIND EXERCISES
