When we observe our emotions and thoughts, we see that we are not confined or defined by them. They are real, but they are not true. They are not who we are.

Beneath the tangle of reaction and response; behind the layers we construct of fear and fantasy, our illusions evaporate and we reunite with our foundational core, revealing and reflecting our eternal true Self: brilliant, beautiful, warm, wise, and worthy of belonging and love.

In the depths of meditation, the Self reveals itself. Beholding the Self by means of the Self, an aspirant knows the joy and peace of complete fulfillment.
