When I let go of New Age metaphysics, Sanskrit terminology, lofty verses of ancient scripture, and theological gobbledygook, the Way is very simple. Drop the past and future, rest in Presence, and allow the mind to descend into the heart. Be like a pebble in a well that has no bottom.
St. Theresa said it all in a passage from 'Interior Castle':
This magnificent refuge is inside you.
Enter. Shatter the darkness
that shrouds the doorway...
Ask no permission from authorities.
Slip away... close your eyes
and follow your breath
to the still place
which leads to the invisible path
that guides you home.
