Paradox

From TOTI:

There is a moment in a seeker’s quest when s/he surrenders her descriptions, releases her expectations, denounces her belief systems, and accepts the impossible. At that moment, a tremendous movement of the assemblage point occurs and the seeker inhabits a separate reality in which she has become the totality of herself.

Beyond that moment, the rest is merely ritual, going through the motions of getting to the place where one has already arrived.

If you think you understand this, you do not.

If you believe you can reason it out, you cannot.

Only when you Know it will it have any relevance whatsoever.

Reminds me of Mikal's adage "You have to be an immortal before you can know how to be an immortal"
