Excerpt from the Book "God I Am"

by Peter O. Erbe 

"The very reason for being here is to experience. The experience and embrace of all emotions is required to consciously reintegrate them with their Source. The 'holier than thou' attitude of sitting on a mountain top, avoiding participation in life, is living death. This would reflect a mind thoroughly misled by his altered Ego. True perception may very well choose to do the same thing, if it owns all emotions, thus it does not deprive itself of anything.

This is not to taint the path of the sanctimonious and the pious, for it leads them to their highway too. It is not to deduct from its validity, but whilst the pious speaks his litany I rather draw my inspiration from the wind.

When the coward finds his courage - let him speak of courage. When the warrior finds his peace - let him speak of peace. Their truth, however gently voiced, carries spice and scent and is thunder in my ear - the sermon of a man who is 'so good' is stale. If he has not passed through the fires of life, if he never blundered, never laughed and wept, never been in love or hated, doubted, never suffered, never roared his anger and never trembled at the softness of a woman's breast, if his loins were never aflame with passion - then he never lived. If he never stood in awe before the giants of the forest or felt the pain of a gentle woman's broken heart - if never he stumbled, was proud or humbled, if never he crawled he never danced - then he is dead.

But men and women unafraid of living, true to themselves, radiate a freshness, an attraction that commands, that fires the heart, and the nectar of their words invigorates the soul."

My husband was amused at my reaction, until it happened to him.
