Sometimes all it takes is a word, a sound, something seen. And a different world opens up. Or the real world that has opened before is once again visited, viscerally.
I was watching an old PBS interview by Bill Moyers, Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth, when Mr. Campbell spoke the word. Something like, "... and we are Becoming." Suddenly I was floating, second by second, on a cloud-like wave.
It was another way into the space created by reading the words of Ramana Maharishi, " ... it flashed through me vividly as living truth which I perceived directly, almost without thought process.
If you haven't heard of either man I highly suggest looking at this amazing discussion by two dedicated minds. I've read many of Joseph Campbell's books and listened to many interviews by Bill Moyers. I met Mr. Moyers when he came to one of my Yoga classes and gushed shamelessly. A big fan, I'm sure I said.
Cultivating this space, this sense of becoming is the fruit of Self-Enquiry, of seeing the unseen and realizing who we really are.
