Yes, we teach in analogies.  The teaching you love the most is that which assures you that those who have passed are as close as your breath.  This is Truth.  This, however, is the icing and the cake.  What is more fundamental, the meat and potatoes, is the reason why they are as close as your breath.  Dissolve the body and what remains?  Spirit … Consciousness … This …. the Awareness that allows you to know all of this and the most fundamental knowing of all:  I AM.  Yes, enjoy the cake, but what comes before dessert is the main course.  You and all that exist are one Light.  Feast on that as you focus on Love.  You are so very loved.  It can be no other way, for Love IS the entire meal.
