Kyla, I have copied this out, because I think you have got it. You really must get to the mentor stuff and become a teacher of this work. This is just amazing what you have written here. I need to feel into it and ponder it to make it mine completely, but it really rings true. It is just so damn mysterious. I do know too, though, that when I was about 20 I used to ponder the fact that there is nothing ever known but things and experience. I would sit and hold a pen and pad and contemplate writing down everything that existed or could be imagined to exist. I put at the top of the pad: "The range of experience in the universe". I would of course soon see that the list would be endless. But in this contemplation, and knowing that everything was a something that would have to go on the list, I would realize the singularity or onlyness of existence. And I would at the same moment go into Being. I had no idea what it was called but I would Realize at least in those moments the Onlyness of Being. And I was doing so without any notion of Consciousness. In College I would fall into Onlyness by making a square with my hands and holding it up to my eyes and look at things in the square so that I couldn't tell what they were. I was trying to unname things and see them without a concept. As if I had never seen anything before. I would also realize Isness temporarily in those moments. Of course I didn't stabilize in any realization. And it could have been I was just getting a taste of Consciousness. So this whole thing I just wrote may mean nothing more than that. Oh well, I will let it be. At any rate, it was my way of diving into matter at that stage of my life. Saniel's essay on Diving into Matter is Diving into Spirit is a treasure for me.
