"When I was at the bottom of the pit, screaming in the darkness, wracked with unspeakable pain, for having been denied all that was rightfully mine, He graced me with His light. His hot, loving light. It flowed over me like the pulse of a timeless wave. A wave of pure heat. A mainline of pure and total acceptance. And He talked to me. Addressed me as a friend. He said, "Jeremiah, they were wrong and you are right. So right." And He blessed me with His holy kiss. He said, "You are not separate from all that is. So all that is, is yours." And He gave me His deepest and warmest permission to go out into this world and take what is so very much mine. All of it. Mine. My wants. My needs. My pleasures."
