But what I will say is this. See that in no sense you withdraw into yourself. And briefly, I do not want you to be outside or above, behind or beside yourself either!"Well" you will say, "where am I to be? 'Nowhere' according to you!" And you will be quite right! Nowhere is where I want you! Why when you are 'nowhere' physically, you are 'everywhere' spiritually. Make it your business then to see that your spirit is tied to nothing physical, and you will find that wherever that thing is that you are giving your mind to, there you are too in spirit, just as surely as your body is where you are bodily!from: The Cloud of Unknowing[author: unknown English mystic of the fourteenth century]To from this mailing list, send email to:<NondualitySalon>Leave body of message blank.
