“As Sai Baba says, you will not achieve God-realization unless you die to the negative ego, which is fearful, separative, and selfish. When you die to the lower self’s way of thinking and are reborn to your higher self’s way of thinking, then you will realize God. This is the main curriculum of the spiritual path, regardless of which particular route or teacher you choose to follow. Contrary to what other people might say, you do not need negative emotions. They are created by the mind. They do not come from outside of yourself or from your instincts. They come from your interpretations, perceptions, and beliefs about reality.

“Los dioses Orna y Ulfrir habían encontrado a su primogénita muerta, con las alas arrancadas. Lo había hecho Lik-Rifa, la diosa dragón, la propia hermana de Orna. Como venganza, Orna y Ulfrir persiguieron a los descendientes de Lik-Rifa tocados por la diosa y los asesinaron, los abrieron en canal la espalda, les extrajeron las costillas como si fueran una grotesca imitación de alas y colgaron sus cuerpos de los árboles. Águila de sangre, se llamaba ahora.”
