The Same Malady Cuts Through Every Heart
--
Your body is Space,
which surrounds it from all sides,
but your Consciousness is beyond space.
The whole space is the light of Consciousness.
When your body-identity goes,
you will see yourself pervading the entire Space.
~Nisargadatta Maharaj

If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Consciousness is the mystery. It’s so close and all-pervasive we don’t notice it manifesting everywhere, in everything. In our culture we don’t even notice we’re no different from anything else in that regard. We’re simply another life form with our own kind of consciousness, with its assets and limitations. Of course we have unrealized potentials within the boundaries imposed by our physical circumstances…
