Gary shared this quote and the name of a book that might be useful:
Dear group, below
please find the quote i shared on thursday. it is a quote used
by Joseph Campbell that i found in his book, "Myths to Live
By." it is from the Bhadaranyaka Upaniad (as he titles it).
This that people say:
"Worship this
god! Worship that
god! - one god after
another! All this is
his creation indeed! And
he himself
is all the gods...
He is
entered in the universe even to
our
fingernail-tips, like a razor in a
razorcase,
or fire in firewood. Him those
people see
not, for as seen, he is incomplete.
When
breathing, he becomes "breath" by
name; when
speaking, "voice"; when seeing,
"the eye";
when hearing, "the ear"; when
thinking,
"mind": these are but the names of
his acts.
Whoever worships one or another
of these -
knows not; for he is incomplete in
one or
another of these.
One should
worship with the thought
that he is
one's self, for therein all these
become one.
This Self is the footprint of that
All, for by
it one knows all - just as,
verily, by
following a footprint one finds
cattle that
have been lost...
Enjoy! the
book i was referring to is a book about improving your
meditation experience called, "The Mind Illuminated," by
Culadasa. I thought Sky might get something out of this.
