“The Light appears when the meditator is least in the way of it.”

'Life is like a play; it's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters'
(Seneca)

“At Initiation, the mind is no longer the knower. It becomes the surface.”

From the relative, the soul has always been necessary.
From realization, neither position is clung to.”
