The Paradox Of Life's Journey

"It is only when we realize that life is taking us nowhere that it begins to have meaning." -- P.D. Ospensky "All major mystical traditions have recognized that there is a paradox at the heart of the journey of return to Origin. ...Put simply, this is that we are already what we seek, and that what we are looking for on the Path with such an intensity of striving and passion and discipline is already within and around us at all moments. The journey and all its different ordeals are all emanations of the One Spirit that is manifesting everything in all dimensions; every rung of the ladder we climb toward final awareness is made of the divine stuff of awareness itself; Divine Consciousness is at once creating and manifesting all things and acting in and as all things in various states of self-disguise throughout all the different levels and dimensions of the universe." -- Andrew Harvey "Look at you, you madman, Screaming you are thirsty And are dying in a desert When all around you there is nothing but water!" -- Kabir "After changes upon changes, we are more or less the same." --Paul Simon
