-- Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan
The totality of the human person (every human person) is meant to be experienced in harmony and brought into the realm of Beauty. Unity transcends division... "Only One" is the delight of true wisdom, and the radical, mystic, essence of true religion. Life within the embrace of "Only One" is the sacramental liberty of transfiguration: make love and chop the potatoes!
hiding, nevermore
my soul is naked for You
-- kiss me, touch me, here
Remembrance of the Holy One inevitably leads to both intimacy and identification. Linking, consciously, your breath with a Divine Name or Attribute steadily erases the illusion of separation (the root ill fostered by every religion, every culture and the politics of power: for only those who believe themselves to be "separate beings" are able to be manipulated or controlled by the agents of fear.) Remembrance of the Holy One is your invitation to walk through the Door of Reality: you are -- at this very moment -- intimate beyond belief! Scan the headline news, read a little (very little) theology, listen (only a little) to the politicians, observe what everyone is trying to sell you: and then choose the path of your liberation! Know that you have been created for radiance and the companionship of Love! Why settle for anything less?
