We say, "God dwells within me." This is true and not true. Divine Consciousness pervades all existence and so dwells within us. Yet God is not limited or confined within anything. Only the word "elephant" can fit in a matchbox.

Let your dream world reveal the larger dream of this life. Observe how the dream issues forth from your mind yet you exist beyond it. The end of the dream is just that. We existed before, and exist during, and after.

We can observe "instant karma" when the consequences of our actions return to us immediately. We yell at someone and they yell back, or we offer a kind word and one is returned to us. Kind thoughts and pure loving actions bring peace to us in the moment and plant the seeds of future happiness.

Spiritual detachment requires love, and an open, compassionate heart. Otherwise, it is indifference. True spiritual detachment is what the saints have called "caring but not caring."
