And so, as Mystic Mouse continues his training with Lion Sage, the mighty guru of the forest asks his li le devotee, “Who are you?” And through the many lessons that follow, Mystic Mouse learns that he is not the physical body. He is the soul. And as the soul he has lived in many physical bodies in many lives. He also learns about his soul nature. As he travels with Lion Sage to the penthouse and the mountaintop, he sees that the soul is detached and blissful. He and Lion Sage view a movie many times over. He then learns that as the soul naturally withdraws into itself, experiences are no longer so fascinating and he is not so a ached to things. Finally, Lion Sage explains to Mystic Mouse that he and he alone is the source of all his pain and pleasure and that as the soul he is ever blissful and free. Mystic Mouse shows great happiness with the teachings he has received so far and sits in bliss, knowing he is what he seeks and that one day he, like many before him, will realize the Self, God.
