the secret: you are [that]. i am too.


"Tat tvam asi"

Literally translated from Sanscrit, it means interchangeably “Thou art that” and “That art thou.”   
It is generally taken to mean that your soul or consciousness is wholly or partially the Ultimate Reality [God]. That is to say, even before the creation of the universe, a unitary, divine consciousness existed, and that this consciousness is identical to your deepest self…it is the relationship between the individual and the absolute. (Encyclopedia Brittanica, Global Oneness)

weekend of silence

As I mentioned, I have given up "distractions" for Lent. Not so that I can quit my life, but so that I can see if, somewhere amid the flurry of my busy life and projects and thoughts, there is peace. And if there is not peace, to find it. To that end, I gave up facebook (except to post my blog), I gave up checking my email every 5 minutes, spending all of my free hours surrounded by people and light and sound.
