A woman asks Rupert if she is praying correctly when, in talking with God, she says, ‘I am a piece of you’, and ‘you are all of me’.

Rupert, assuring her she is correct, elaborates: ‘The two statements are from two different stages of understanding. The first statement, “I am a piece of you”, puts the ego or the separate self in the right relationship with God. In the second statement, “you are all of me”, the ego has dissolved. There is no room in God’s being for two beings, there’s just the all, or the one. The second statement annihilates the ego, leaving only God.

‘The first stage of understanding is beautiful – I am a piece of you or a part of you. But the second stage of understanding is more complete – you are all of me. In other words, I am not a piece or a fragment. But don’t worry about whether the words are accurate or not. It’s not important that our prayers are accurate, just that they are evocative.’
