Experiencing full glory

The majority of human beings are not capable of experiencing even this minute thrill at its fullest, because the lower-level energies are not capable of containing or measuring higher-level energies. By the same token, if given more than requisite voltage, any energy system will overload and blow up the circuits. We have established such strong identification with the lower-level energies the body, emotions etc. that we have weakened our  power system and made it incapable of receiving a larger dose of the thrill. So we have to gradually tune it to its higher-level energies until enough strength is built up in the system for us to be able to awaken to the full glory that is flowing into us even as we read this.
