It is only in order that they may take up the work of bringing to others
this great blessing that those who have entered into the larger
consciousness, eventually bring themselves to enter the life of the world.
Thus, we find that Paul's great desire to bring the light to others, took
him again to Damascus; and from the records we have of his utterances and
his mode of living, we may gather some idea of the great change which
Illumination made in him.
Certain statements, which characterize all who possess cosmic
consciousness, in any degree of fullness, emanate from the converted Paul.
He says:
"I must needs glory though it is not expedient, but I will come to visions
and revelations of the Lord--for if I should desire to glory I shall not be
foolish; for I shall speak the truth; but I forbear, lest any man should
account of me above that which he seeth me to be, or heareth from me. And
by reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations--wherefore that I
should not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh,
a messenger of Satan to buffet me.
