We have local churches where we meet together as believers. We no longer go to Mount Sinai to meet God. Why not? Because the place of the tabernacle and the temple is now replaced by the body—your body and mine—in which God meets with us and God dwells with us, and where we have communion with Him. When we come to the church now, we don’t come to the sanctuary; we bring our sanctuaries with us. This individual entity is the locus of appointment between God and me. There He meets.

Feel it circulate round your body to fill every organ, every limb, and every cell. Vibrate with its radiance, and share it.

"I'm a Fawn!" it cried out in a voice of delight. "And dear me, you're a human child!"

You need to imagine and build a self out of elements that are not tainted. You need to remake yourself on your own terms.
