Excerpts from the book:
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
(I will never forget this conversation. Her tone was very matter-of-fact
and emotionless. However, for the first time, I sensed the presence of a
warm and real "personality" in Airl. Her reference to "immortal
spiritual beings" struck me like a flash of light in a dark room. I had
never before considered that a human being could be an immortal
being.
I thought that status or power was reserved solely for The Father, The
Son, and The Holy Ghost. And, because I am a devout Catholic and
subject to the word of The Lord Jesus, and The Holy Father, I have
never thought of a woman as an immortal spiritual being either -- not
even the Holy Mother Mary. Yet, when Airl thought that thought, I
became vividly aware for the very first time that she, personally, was
an immortal spiritual being, and so are we all!
Airl said that she sensed that I was confused about the idea. She said
she would demonstrate to me that I am also an immortal spiritual being.
She said, "Be above your body!" Immediately, I realized that I was
"outside" of my body, looking down from the ceiling at the top of my
body's head! I was also able to see the room around me, including
Airl's body sitting in the chair next to my own body. After a moment, I
realized the simple, but shocking, reality, that "I" am not a body.
In that moment a black veil lifted and for the first time in my life, and
for a very long time into the past, I realized that I am not "my soul", but
that "I" am "me" -- a spiritual being. This was an unexplainable
epiphany, but one that fills me with a joy and relief I cannot recall
having experienced ever before. As for the "immortal" part, I do not
understand her meaning, as I have always been taught that I am not
immortal -- a spirit, perhaps -- but certainly not immortal!
...
For any thinking person, it is quite clear that there is more to a human being than just the physical body and its activities. In fact it's now a fairly well-accepted notion that our true nature is more likely to be "spiritual beings", however, somehow we have become so totally absorbed in having "human experiences" that our original identity is lost to our awareness, completely forgotten.
That "original identity" , whatever it is, would unlock everything ? ... all else is just illusion ?
Excerpts from the book:
...
"Now I am prepared to give you certain
information that I feel will be of great value
to you. I will tell you the truth. Although
truth is relative to all other truth, I wish to
share with you as honestly and accurately as
possible, truth as I see it, within the
boundaries of my integrity to myself, to my
race and without violating my obligations to
the organization I serve and have sworn to
uphold and protect".
"OK", I thought. "Will you answer questions
from the gallery now?"
"No. I will not answer questions. I will
provide information to you that I think will be
beneficial to the well-being of the immortal
spiritual beings who comprise humanity, and
that will foster the survival of all the myriad
life forms and the environment of Earth, as it
is a part of my mission to ensure the
preservation of Earth.
"Personally, it is my conviction that all
sentient beings are immortal spiritual beings.
This includes human beings. For the sake of
accuracy and simplicity I will use a made-up
word: "IS-BE". Because the primary nature of
an immortal being is that they live in a
timeless state of "is", and the only reason for
their existence is that they decide to "be".
No matter how lowly their station in a society,
every IS-BE deserves the respect and treatment
that I myself would like to receive from
others. Each person on Earth continues to be
an IS-BE whether they are aware of the fact or
not."

In this book the term "IS-BE" is used to indicate all "sentient beings", which include human beings as well as other living forms on Earth such as dolphins, horses, birds ... etc.
