time, there was an awakening of consciousness, a realisation that I had come to the end of the journey of “experiences” along the road of my present incarnation, and could go no further until I passed through that door.

The journey had been like many we take in order to get to some destination we have in mind, except that until I reached the place I did, and realised that I could positively go no further, I had traveled aimlessly.

I seemed to sit before that door and wait. While waiting, there were those who smiled and offered me their hands, as they passed by and through. Some, pitying me, held my hand a moment. Some offered me a book or leaflet, with words of cheer in them.

Since that day, “TIME” is not. It is eternal. I can, by stilling all material thoughts, and their claims, enter through the “I AM” door of consciousness; enter into the perfect Joy and Bliss of the
