One must be willing to stand alone—in the unknown, with no reference to the
known or the past or any of one’s conditioning. One must stand where no one
has stood before in complete nakedness, innocence, and humility. One must
stand in that dark light, in that groundless embrace, unwavering and true to
the reality beyond all self—not just for a moment, but forever without end.
For then that which is sacred, undivided, and whole is born within
consciousness and begins to express itself.
