Attending to Attar, Day 81
At first, the room-within appears to be dark and foreboding. Then you spot a glowing ember in its depths that seems far away. You approach in anticipation. The ember brightens in your presence and draws nearer to you. A face is reflected in its flame. You stare in wonderment. You are astonished that you are looking at yourself. In amazement, you advance toward what is not a reflection at all but is actually you. You realize that you are the glow. The ember’s flame is your own true nature. You are the light. You are that which I AM. I AM is you. There is no other. You are the emptiness that is nowhere. You are the mystery. You are the answer to the mystery. You are all that you seek and wish to know. You are consciousness in existence. All that you once understood to be separation in the world is now seen as illusion. Now you accept that you are utterly nothingness as the flame consumes you. In silence you return to where no words are required. Your reality cannot be said.
