Nakedness - we must stand naked before heaven

Only truth is naked. This means that to rise to the level where truth is laid bare, we must work to free ourselves from everything inside that is opaque, everything that is impervious to the divine world. Once we attain this state of nakedness, we can rise to great heights and receive messages, advice, wisdom, love and help from God. We must stand naked before heaven, stripped of all covetousness, self-interest, and false conceptions. The more we strip away, the higher we rise. Later, when we come back down—for as long as we are on earth we always have to come down again and carry out our work on earth—we get dressed. That is to say, we resume our activities, our projects and our relationships with our families, friends, neighbours, and so on. For the world we have to be clothed, but not for heaven. Heaven loves only those who are ‘naked’.*
