Light

Sometimes when I'm very still in meditation and even in the wee hours when I wake up and I'm very still, I see a beautiful light behind my eyes. Sometimes I think this light is god. Sometimes I think it is me. And then I think maybe it's just substance and that substance is all there is -- no me, no god, just beingness.

And these are just thoughts, too - arising and passing, like all phenomenon. Curious. Thinking. Analyzing. Taking up space.

When destiny leads one to the edge of his being, he is faced with the choice to either fall back on that which he has already known or else to transcend himself.
-Paul Tillich, Protestant Theologian

The mind is a lousy master, but a wonderful servant.

A fast mind is a sick mind. A slow mind is a sound mind. But a still mind is a divine mind.
