Beyond Intimacy

The truth, Who you Are, what ‘really’ Is, is always here; has always been here. It is not something new you have to learn. It is actually completely and totally familiar to us, even though we are not conscious of realising it. This is the shock of recognition when it occurs: complete familiarity. Of course, this has always been!

More than familiar. This truth is what is most intimate to you: more familiar and intimate than anything that you think or believe or ‘know’ about yourself. Because these things turn out to be constructs, beliefs, an added layer, outside the most intimate truth, which you have convinced yourself that you don’t know. But you do. Go back. It is your own Self.
