I can only report that it is true. You almost certainly have had experiences that you have given little thought or credence to that are evidence of what I say if you take some time to think about it.
My point in this post is to report that without question our nervous system has at least two distinctly different "states:" "me & mine" (selfishness, flesh) OR "we & thine" (otherishness, brotherliness, PeaceMAKING).
Imagine your mind is a Personal Computer that can run Microsoft Word OR Microsoft Excel. Two pretty PROFOUNDLY different worlds, no? Different code, procedures, MEMORY, LOGIC.... MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE - if one is running THE OTHER IS NOT!
So it is with "me" and "we;" totally different "states of mind," "worlds apart." Most of this site is about these two different worlds so I'll have to point you to the other posts on this site for now.
Each "world" looks CRAZY from the other. But "we" is the one with "wisdom" and any individual that spends much time in "we" rarely will go back to "me." The reverse is not true. This is what "Saved" or "Converted" is about although this Truth has been totally lost in the "church."
Now, these "worlds" are separated by a crevasse! It is just as scary as a crevasse in a glacier - scary as hell to contemplate jumping over - ESPECIALLY FROM THE FLESH SIDE. It is NOT a linear path. 99.9999999% of us glimpse the other side, the other world, the Kingdom, but spend ourselves deluding ourselves (with all the help that the "church" can muster) that standing on the edge occasionally (doing "good" occasionally) is the same as leaping the crevasse into the Kingdom. 'Some of you will say Lord, Lord... but I do not know you."
