Reflection 287
Welcome!
SafeThis meditation is safe, not only because it can’t be bungled, not only because it avoids dependence upon others on the one hand and self-pride on the other, but also because it is uncontrived. There’s nothing arbitrary or fanciful about it, nothing to strain your credulity, nothing to go wrong, nothing to set you apart from ordinary people, nothing special. It is safe because it is finding out how matters stand, not trying to manipulate them. What could be less dangerous than ceasing to deceive yourself about your Self, or more dangerous than not doing so? (Douglas Harding. Quoted in
Seeing Who You Really Are by Richard Lang.)
