The Holy Mountain on the Far Shore

Odilon Redon - Mysterious Boat

The path is love and awareness.

These bodies are the holy mountain.
This psyche is the city of fire within that holy mountain.

This life is our circumambulation.
Intimacy is revelation.

There is nothing to sell each other.

There is only one transaction, your death for your life. And it is worth the price.

But nothing is as you were led to believe.

The music of the spheres is the interior reality of what is called "silence."
The divine pulsation of the universe itself is the interior reality of what is called "stillness."

Journey to the "Far Shore" and you will arrive on this one, as if for the first time.

The "Far Shore" is not heaven or an afterlife, the "Far Shore" is apperception.
Immerse yourself in this apperception, and you will discover your perception utterly transformed.

This is the truth.

-- Richard Power

Power's eighth book, Humanifesto: A Guide to Primal Reality in an Era of Global Peril , is available now in soft cover and Kindle versions, from Amazon and elsewhere.
