Reflection 297

Welcome!


The Whole Fire

Exactly what (I ask myself) is this shocking He, this shameless She, this unbowdlerized It, in reality? Its essence is Awareness, the One Light of Consciousness that lights up the world and every creature the world comes into. I locate this Light Indivisible right where I am, plumb in the Centre of this world as I find it, nearer than near, at the heart of the heart of me. Here is no spark of that Fire, but the blazing Furnace itself. It brooks no rival consciousnesses.  (Douglas Harding. The Trial of the Man who said he was God.)
