Illumination of Immensity...
"I would like to hear about the man of spirit."
"His spirit rises, mounted on the light,
while his physical form vanishes.
This is called 'illumination of immensity.'
He fulfills his destiny and perfects his attributes.
Heaven and earth rejoice;
The myriad affairs dissolve.
and the myriad things are restored to truth.
This is called 'merging with darkness.'
Chuang Tzu

The merging with darkness will confuse many.
This is the state of Pure Intelligence..
Pure Intelligence was that which spoke " Let there be Light"!..
Pure Intelligence dreamed of the Divine Consciousness that became the 'Creator'..
There is no Personality within Pure Intelligence and therefore, no one to feel any distane for that darkness that existed before Light..
