D: Uncompromising acceptance goes beyond acceptance, yields radiance. The arising of the "One Eye" vision is finally simple radiance, a radiance with no radius, no center. Brilliant Sir Dan. You are magnificent and special! No radius, no center. Just simple radiance. I like that very much. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without it one speaks eloquently of water but remains thirsty. D: There is faith that is merely belief and there is faith that is taking a leap. Leaping faith is itself transformation, the changing of the double eye into the single Eye. >H: Any "doing" with the mind presupposes the retention of the mind and does > not allow the conscious sinking of the mind into the Self from where it >arises.
