The Outrageous Myths of Enlightenment

You are the One Self, Awareness Itself. Stop for a moment right now, and notice this presence of awareness that you are - here and now. Notice that you are spacious, open, awake and free. Notice that these words are arising in this spacious openness that you are. Notice that the activities of the mind - thoughts, emotions, sensations and experiences - all arise naturally and spontaneously in you, this spacious, open presence of awareness.

This peaceful, loving, spacious openness is what you are. This spacious openness is the Self, the Liberation, the Awakening, the Enlightenment, the Peace and the Love for which you've been seeking. You have always been, and always will be simply THIS.
