Held

In every direction the world fades into this Single Eye, into Consciousness, into Silence. Things merge seamlessly with No-thing. All forms, sounds, tastes, smells, textures, thoughts, feelings… are here within this boundless Being. There isn’t a speck of dust left out, not one electron spinning lost somewhere out there beyond the One that you really are.

Imagine a mother hen with her soft strong wings folded round her chicks, holding them all within her warm and loving embrace. How wonderful to be surrounded by such warmth and love! You would feel so safe, so happy, so loved. The One that you really are surrounds the whole world in such a manner, soaking into everything like water into a sponge – except more so, for no gaps exist between the One and the world, no dividing line between this emptiness and this fullness. This is the love that excludes nothing and no one, that enters fully into the lives of every being - that is every being.

Who is now within your embrace, within your world-wide arms? Who are you now becoming?
