Is it not time to\u003cbr\u003ewrite my life's story? I am just as much out of the way as if I were\u003cbr\u003edead, for I am absolutely other than the person whose story I have to\u003cbr\u003etell. Physical continuity with my earlier self is no disadvantage. I\u003cbr\u003ecould speak in the third person and not feel that I was masquerading.\u003cbr\u003eI can analyze my subject, I can reveal everything; for _she_, and not\u003cbr\u003e_I_, is my real heroine. My life I have still to live; her life ended\u003cbr\u003ewhen mine began.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA generation is sometimes a more satisfactory unit for the study of\u003cbr\u003ehumanity than a lifetime; and spiritual generations are as easy to\u003cbr\u003edemark as physical ones. Now I am the spiritual offspring of the\u003cbr\u003emarriage within my conscious experience of the Past and the Present.\u003cbr\u003eMy second birth was no less a birth because there was no distinct\u003cbr\u003eincarnation. Surely it has happened before that one body served more\u003cbr\u003ethan one spiritual organization. Nor am I disowning my father and\u003cbr\u003emother of the flesh, for they were also partners in the generation of\u003cbr\u003emy second self; copartners with my entire line of ancestors. They gave\u003cbr\u003eme body, so that I have eyes like my father's and hair like my\u003cbr\u003emother's. The spirit also they gave me, so that I reason like my\u003cbr\u003efather and endure like my mother. But did they set me down in a\u003cbr\u003esheltered garden, where the sun should warm me, and no winter should\u003cbr\u003ehurt, while they fed me from their hands? No; they early let me run in\u003cbr\u003ethe fields--perhaps because I would not be held--and eat of the wild\u003cbr\u003efruits and drink of the dew. Did they teach me from books, and tell me\u003cbr\u003ewhat to believe? I soon chose my own books, and built me a world of my\u003cbr\u003eown.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145819373808,"sku":"2940013411357","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013411357_p0.jpg?v=1763580884","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013411357","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
