Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 " One day somebody here in the group, a young man, told me something infinitely touching. He said, " When I am with my girlfriend, in that most supreme moment of sex, I have a tremendous desire to be one with her. " I remember I looked at him and my heart was full of compassion. Poor him. He was hoping to be united to somebody else. There is no such thing as somebody else. There is only you. The realization is always with oneself; it is never with anything or anyone else. It is the same thing as the first experience of the superconscious state. You find yourself in absolute omnipotence, in absolute light, in absolute magnificence, and there is no God to be found! It is shattering. One brings only bits and pieces of memories from it, and one tries to understand those states partially, very little. It takes years. I am twenty-five years at it and I still can't understand it well enough. But I know the more you meditate, the more silent you become. This is a fact. And what you have to say you can speak only in parables. " Irina Tweedie, Sufi mystic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
