".......As I put my cup down my attention was drawn to my breathing and in the brief instance when the flow of breath changed from inspiration to expiration, I became aware of Eternity. This was the first time in my life that I lived through a timeless event; though it is common enough between sleeping and waking to have long and vivid dreams that occupy seconds and seem to last for hours. This was not at all like a dream - there were no visions, no images, nothing happened, not even a thought.
It was a state of pure cognition., a luminous certainty. The central truth was the IMPERISHABILITY OF THE will. Body perishes, all the functions that depend on the body turn into dreams and eventually fade away.Even my very self, my own existence and the feeling of "I" that accompanies it could endure only for a time.
But my will was out of time and space and nothing could destroy it. As long as the will was the prisoner of my own functions, that is of my sensations, my thoughts, feelings and desires, it must be involved in their fate. If they perished, it must perish with them.
But if my will were free from all these, especially from "being" anything at all, then it would be truly imperishable, immortal and able to create for itself whatever vehicle it might need in order to exist and work. This freedom is the will to do God's will and I understood once and forever that this is the secret of everlasting life...." page 276 Witness Bennet's autobiography
