If you take a glass of water and separate it from its source - the ocean - then pour the water away from its source and ask it to sustain life, it flitters away. It just evaporates. It can't sustain life. That's a metaphor for us when we separate ourselves from our source and believe that God is separate from us.
Wayne DyerMost people tell themselves these excuses - I've always been this way, how can I possibly change, this is my nature, I can't help it - that are just memes
