Self-referral
"If your mind races, return to the place,"
return to where you were before thought.
Return to the site of Oneness.¹
— Sefer Yetzirah
What’s your primary experience
before thoughts, feelings, sensations,
perceptions have begun?
It’s just the experience of being;
just a simple, ordinary, intimate,
colorless, silent experience of being.
Our innermost experience is just being —
the awareness of being.²
— Rupert Spira
We can experience
the awareness of being —
the Now —
at any moment.
It is always Now.³
— Expressions of Joy
Heaven is a direct
Now-experience
and can only be found
in the conscious Now.⁴
— Richard Booker
The center of spiritual gravity
is always within,
and only within.⁵
— Richard Booker
