Brilliant Sir Dan. You are magnificent and special!

No radius, no center. Just simple radiance. I like that very much.

D: This Eye that sees itself, sees only Itself. It knows Itself to be

seeing Itself. How can this be possible? Only through Its

inherent nature and reality.

D: Knowing itself as self and other, it forgets itself, sees itself as

other than Itself. Knowing itself as Self is remembering, dissolves

erroneous visions.

D: Providing such explanations are like giving a floor plan for a house to

eye into the single Eye.
