"Illusion holds power over you when you are not able to
remember that you are a powerful spirit that has taken on
the physical experience for the purpose of learning.
It has
power over you when you are compelled by wants and impulses
and values of your personality. It holds power over you when
you fear and hate and sorrow and fester in anger or strike
out in rage.
It has NO power over you when you LOVE, when
compassion opens your heart to others, when your creativity
flows unimpeded joyously into the present moment. In other
words, the illusion had no power over a personality that is
fully aligned with the soul."
