“Spiritual attainment is a fundamental transformation of the „I“ from a separate, limited, and contracted identity into a rich and infinite one. It is a movement from separation to union. One of the first steps in this process is to observe and understand the chaotic and fragmented nature of the ordinary self and to understand that a very practical integration and harmony can be achieved. This integrated self is the drop that contains the ocean. At the dimensionless center of our identity is the creative potential of Universal Intelligence. (p. 120)”
