Guest guest Posted July 30, 2000 Report Share Posted July 30, 2000 In Western myth, this is the story of Lucifer, who suffered from a delusion that it was possible for someone other than God to be God. Delusion leads to construction of private reality with "me" as master of what is surveyed. Because it never exists, it is called "delusion." Because it turns heaven into hell (just look around), it is called "worth seeing through". "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."

No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home.
