4. Bridging the gap between you and your higher self

Imagine that you are already up there in the sun, and that you look down at that creature here on the Rock – this creature that is yourself! You project yourself out of your body and amuse yourself, watching and smiling at yourself sitting down here: Oh, look at that funny little creature down there; to think that its me! How small and puny he looks! But Im going to help him; Ill give him all the help he needs If you do this very simple exercise every day, you will already be starting to rebuild the bridge. Nobody can tell you how long it will take to complete the job, for you are not building with iron, steel, or concrete but with another, far subtler matter from the mental plane.

Although we do not feel this to be so, part of us – an extremely subtle part that we call our higher self – actually dwells in the sun already. Our higher self is not always present in our physical body; if it were, it would make itself felt with its prodigies. No, it visits us from time to time, manifesting itself to us through a brief contact with the brain; but as our brains are not yet ready to sustain the intensity of its vibrations or to tune in to its wavelength, the contact cannot last long.

This is where our work with the sun comes in: the purpose of our work with the sun, and of all our meditations and prayers, is to restore communication, to build a bridge between our lower self down here and our higher self in the sun.
When the bridge has been built and communication restored, we shall once again be united with that higher self that dwells with God in constant happiness, joy, and boundless freedom. Yes, part of ourselves already dwells in God, in a state of indescribable bliss.

You must realize that the sun can help us tremendously in our efforts to bridge the gap between us and our higher self. Without the help of the sun, human beings would probably go on clinging to their philosophy of separateness for thousands of years without ever finding the fulfilment they long for. The time has come to adopt the philosophy of universal unity, which makes us feel our oneness with the Creator and with all the entities of light – angels, archangels, and divinities. With this philosophy, humanity will find its way back to the source far more rapidly and effectively.
