In this way, all experience is the same, all is lit up by the light that we

are. Since the experience appears and disappears in this light, it is not

separate from this light. So all is light.

 

--Greg

 

Harsha: I like this Greg. Experience appears in the light of the Self and

disappears in the Self.

 

 

Now, Harshaji-- you've added something to Greg's presentation that he,

possibly for good reason, chose not to say! Greg simply says, All is

Light! NOT "appearing in the light of the Self and disappearing ...."

Respectfully, my friend, you have made what is in my view, at least, an

unwarranted addition to Greg's excellent presentation.

The Light Under The Bushel

 

 

 

 

This morning between the front

door and my old white Toyota,

I discovered the sky,was a

forest of lavender and sage,

 

I reached out my arm,

which telescoped to

macroscopic proportion,

and drew a clutch of blossoms

to my nose-- ah, how sweet a scent!

 

Do you ever notice how

the afterburn of gasoline on a

busy street can carry away your

heart to a sun-drenched village

where musicians on a white

gazebo play Souza and Sgt. Pepper

on shiny brass instruments and

puffing accordions?

 

Whence cometh this parfum

coloring every odor in

the aroma of love?

 

What is this world where each

step into a shopping mall or

grocery is like swimming in

a living sea of Chanel, an

ocean of love¹s potion #9?

 

How came I to be so helpless

in rapture? Has my love a

name to match her scent?

 

O Beloved, (and I am laughing now),

it is Me--only Me--all me!

How could there be any Other?

 

 

 

You there, woman with strawberry

hair and cherry lips--

We are Me!

 

And Mister-- yes, you with that

little paunch and crooked smile--

Me are We!

 

Oh, and how do YOU know? I hear

you doubtful say. Such boldness,

so forthright. What presumption.

 

Now we shall share our secret,

a very simple one, not so

hidden, really--

 

You see that man? Yes, him.

And those two women?

Look at their eyes...

Do you see?

Can you see?

The light in those eyes--

all of them.

 

Yes, a light, and

in everyone¹s eyes.

 

Cherished One, I have

seen this light,

recognized the light,

worshipped this light for

a thousand lives and have

realized a small,

important thing:

 

There is only One Light.
