Defining Intelligence ... Being Open-Minded.

Say you had a dream or a vision and in the vision everything is streaming light.
That's all there is, just light streaming.

And part of the light streaming shapes itself into a chair, so you sit down.

And then the light streaming over there shapes itself into a person who says,
" I want to be able to wake up and see the light."

You look at this streaming light formed into a person-shape and say,
"But you are obviously streaming light."

The streaming light says, "No, I don't think so, I don't experience that.
I feel very dark and alone and am in so much pain.
Show me how I can see this light you are talking about."

Meanwhile the streaming light formed into a person-shape is practically blinding you with their beauty and brilliance,
and all you can really think is,
what in the hell is up with this?

A lovely description of the dream of awakening.

Intoxicated by the Wine of Love


Intoxicated by the Wine of Love.

From each a mystic silence Love demands.

What do all seek so earnestly? 'Tis Love.

What do they whisper to each other? Love.

Love is the subject of their inmost thoughts.

In Love no longer 'thou' and 'I' exist,

For Self has passed away in the Beloved.

Now will I draw aside the veil from Love,

And in the temple of mine inmost soul,

Behold the Friend; Incomparable Love.

He who would know the secret of both worlds,

Will find the secret of them both, is Love.
