' That Which Is '...

When a man has reached this stage different terms can be used to label this unique attainment.

It is insight, awakening, enlightenment. It is Being, Truth, Consciousness.

It is Discrimination between the Seer and the Seen. It is awareness of That Which Is.

It is the Practice of the Presence of God.

It is the Discovery of Timelessness.

All these words tell us something but they all fall short and do not tell us enough.

In fact they are only hints for farther they cannot go: it is not on their level at all since it is the Touch of the Untouchable.

But never mind; just play with such ideas if you care too.

Ruminate and move among them. Put your heart as well as head into the game.

Who knows one day what may happen?

Perhaps if you become still enough you too may know--as the Bible suggests.
