Guest guest Posted February 19, 2001 Report Share Posted February 19, 2001 Hello Gordon & Miles & All I discovered a "flavour" of the goal in Paul Brunton's first experience of the Self . I hope this might answer Gordon's question too. "Finally it happens. Thought is extinguished like a snuffed candle. The intellect withdraws into its real ground, that is, consciousness working unhindered by thoughts. .................................................................................\ ....... The brain has passed into a state of complete suspension, as it does in deep sleep,yet there is not the slightest loss of consciousness. I remain perfectly calm and fully aware of who I am and what is occuring.Yet my sense of awareness has been drawn out of the narrow confines of the separate personality;it has turned into something sublimely all embracing. Self still exists,but it is a changed,radiant self. For something that is far superior to the unimportant personality which was I,some deeper,diviner being rises into consciousness and becomes me. .................................................................................\ .............. I have attained a divine liberty and an almost indescribable felicity. My arms embrace all creation with profound simpathy, for I understand in the deepest possible way that to know all is not merely to pardon all, but to love all. My heart is remoulded in rapture. .................................................................................\ ........................"
