The ember of joy glows deep within. It is your lifeline to the eternal but lies hidden behind veils of ignorance and fear where it awaits your awareness. You live in its shadows of knowing. You are blind to its light. Without eyes that see, your path is rocky, you are torn by brambles, you stumble unknowingly into the abyss where you are swallowed by oblivion. To die in oblivion is your greatest fear. You cannot accept its non-existence. To not exist is to shed not only the body and its personality, but the soul as well. Would nothing of you remain? The soul is existence without the body. The soul world is still a world of separation as you perceive it. Oblivion is the absence of all separation and its existence as you know it. To be fully aware is to be free of all existence. You cannot know this. It cannot be said. You must enter the room within and accept the embrace of joy to know. Oblivion does not exist. It is real. You are its reality. That reality is consciousness. It is the eternal which you know as an ember within.
