“At the core of so much of our suffering is separation, a separation that was caused by literally turning away from our own innocence and completeness very early in life as a coping mechanism to deal with painful and overwhelming situations.”
“The entire adventure of the separate self takes place in a little bubble of thought and feeling within Awareness, but Awareness itself never takes the adventure.”
“There is an inmost center in us all, where truth abides in fullness;
… and, to know, rather consists in opening out a way
where the imprisoned splendor may escape,
then in effecting entry for a light supposed to be without.”
