“As we consciously let God within us flow and as we interconnect with God in others, we experience ourselves as bonded, not only to each other but in the divine relationship. We experience the “is-ness” of the whole, thus extending the flow of eternal life—the eternal realm—into this realm. We prepared our souls for the climax of belonging. This is not a sentimental idea, but the way we are made. We belong to each other. We are joined.”
-Gordon Cosby, Seized by the Power of a Great Affection, p. 16
