The Mystery is not inert or lifeless. The Mystery is Bright. Felt at the heart, Mystery makes the heart
and the head and the whole body shine.
When
the Mystery is strongly intuited and felt, this radiance—the dynamic force of
the Heart—begins to move in the body. A spontaneous release of power flows
through subtle channels of the multi-dimensional bodily vehicle. The current is
heard (as harmonic sound), seen (as radiant light) and felt
(as blissful force) as it ascends and descends in a living circuit throughout
the body-mind.
Mystery,
when fully felt (to the final degree of ego-dissolution) outshines the limits
of all that is “known about” or can ever be “known about.” Our natural condition is free from all that is merely
known, conceived, perceived or converted into words, numbers, images or
meanings. Such outshining of limits (and all phony identities) is
initiation into ultimate openness.
Until
such initiation, the Mystery remains an idea, a symbol, an abstract mental object,
a thing apart (and sought after). After initiation, all the myriad qualities of
experience cannot mask the Absolute Signal of Being. Thus, the awakened one
intuits and lives unqualified life, presently, even in the ordinary forms of
the world.
