Who are the parents? We have discovered that the father-mother of all creation is man’s I AMness.

The child you now bear in your heart is your present objective.

To others who judge superficially you seem no longer to desire, so to them the desire or damsel is dead.

You know, “She is not dead, she but sleepth.” “I go to awaken her.”

The child is dead within their world; but I, who know the law, say, “The child is not dead.”

The child in the story is not a child. The child is your ambition, your desire, the unfulfilled dreams of your heart.

The child or state you desired is now your fixed concept of yourself.

I close the door against the mocking, laughing crowd.

This damsel really was not dead, she was only asleep.

“And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.”
