+If we were asked to be free right now, to jump into the sea of love in this
+very moment, we might turn our attention inward and try it, and it may not
+work.  Why?  Because of a hindrance, a block.  That block is the very sense of
+“I am” that is the false image of who we are.  It is the shell that is
+veiling, covering our true nature.  So the goal of all spiritual endeavors is
+to actually realize the enlightened part of who we are, not sometime in the
+future, but right now.
