Reflection 148

Welcome!


Reality

For a number of reasons I can say that it is Reality itself. I have already touched on one or two of them. This Void is not mere emptiness, it is not mere absence, it is Self-Aware. It is Self-Awareness itself, and that makes it quite different from a void which is just an unconscious absence. Secondly, as I said, it is full to overflowing, full of what it’s entertaining. Thirdly, it says to itself, “This is for real. I am this. I AM.” It has its own interior self-justification. It is self-validating from within and when experienced cannot be doubted. It is after all what I’m most sure of, because I am it. All else is mere hearsay, is off centre, remote, changing, inscrutable, a product of ignorance. This Clarity I know because I am it. Here I have inside information, and only here. All the rest is external acquaintance. For all these good reasons I say it is real and all else is comparatively unreal. (Douglas Harding. Quoted in Seeing Who You Really Are by Richard Lang)
