There Is No Spiritual Information

Raven's eyes looked straight into mine. And they were mine. Gazing out of darkness into light, out of light into darkness. If you don't understand this, look straight at the sun until it becomes the black hole burnt into your own retina.

And Raven said: "How much courage does it take to Be?

"You have been searching for some instruction, some sacred information to enlighten you. All right, I'll give it freely because it is not a secret. Here it is in a single squawk, the final bit of instruction to liberate your heart: There is no spiritual information.

"Consciousness is not informed. No external authority adds anything to your consciousness, liberates it, or forms it into something new. In its natural state, your consciousness already is liberation. Now your heart can relax and expand. You can fly on night wings into the sun, pluck it out of the sky, drop it like a tiny seed into a furrow of loam.

"Just for one eternal instant, fall into groundlessness. Don't be in-formed by any media, any source outside you. No longer confuse enlightenment with the play of words and images on the surface of your own oceanic Existence, which is always full and complete, whether a drop leaps out or falls in. You are innately luminous, like the night.

"How much courage does it take to Be? To Be the self-effulgent sun of nothingness that shines from the core of not seeking?"
