Francis Lucille on Invitation by the Immortal Presence

FL: Francis Lucille response.

Q:.. Before that (Recognition of the Truth) did you have any idea what was going to happen?

FL:..Yes and no. Yes, because I felt the invitation. No, because, up until that point, I had only known relative happiness, relative truth,
relative knowledge, and I could not have imagined the absolute, the
ineffable. The Self is beyond all concept, all projection. That is why
we can’t steer ourselves to it under our own steam, and must wait forit to solicit us. But, when it invites us, we must say yes joyfully,
without hesitation. The decision belongs to us. It is the only decision in which we truly have a free choice.

Q..One of the reasons I postpone making myself available to the invitation is that I fear my life will be radically changed.

FL:..Oh, yes. It will be.

Q:..My family, as well?

FL:..Your family, too. Everything will be changed.

Q:..I am afraid that people will leave me.

FL:..I can assure you that you will regret nothing.

Q:..Is it possible to have received the invitation and to have refused it?

FL:..Yes. You are free.

Q:..Will I be invited again?

FL:..Yes. Be ready. Be available. You are available when you understand that there is nothing that you can do on your own to get to the King. When you acknowledge your total powerlessness, you become an empty room. As soon as you become an empty room, you are a sanctuary. So the King can enter, take the throne, and grace you with immortal presence.
