Uradiance

You no longer need a path to get back to the Beginning, to the Source of creation. Now you can begin at the goal. You are the Source. All paths flower out of your heart. This is not pride, but the fruit of emptiness. 

   We are most like God when we are uncertain, and draw no conclusions about anything. What is God's conclusion? Are we ever finished? Is there  an almighty stopwatch that rings and cries out, "All right, time's up?" What is the boundary of time or space?  Yet humans must invent the notion of a "Last Judgment" because we can't endure the boundless, the perhaps, the open-ended darkness of our glory.

Now just be present, sensing their energy, attuning to their frequency, gazing into their faces through the eye of your heart. Move them without joining any movement.   ...

  I cried, "Give me a meditation practice! Give me a spiritual technique! Something I can do right now to gain enlightenment!" The Friend answered, "You are already doing it." "I don't understand." "You're not supposed to understand," answered the Friend. "The mind has no part in this." "Then what practice am I doing?" You are born in a body on earth. You awaken. That is the practice." "What is the meaning of this birth?" "You are on a cross, crucified by a paradox, with no escape." "What is the meaning of this crucifixion?" "The marriage of opposites, which occurs on no other world, and in no heaven. This is why even the gods must be born on earth if they wish to gain liberation." "What is the center of this cross?" "The vanishing point between past and future, spirit and flesh, joy and pain, stillness and action, converging in your cruciform body, at the hea...
