Who and what we are in reality far exceeds our conventional view of ourselves in time and space. We are hallucinating ourselves in many ways that diminish our understanding of the essential purity, radiance and unlimited potentiality that rests beneath the surface of our own misconception. However, our ignorant miscalculations are merely passing storm clouds in the radiant and illuminating sky of our essential being, and to uncover our inconceivable identity is the only true occupation of all sentient beings. Such a sacred endeavor surpasses all dogmatic religious philosophies and intellectual wrangling, for to come face to face with the essential and naked radiance of our own fundamental nature is to solve with one stroke every problem that has ever confronted humanity throughout the ages. When we recognize our essential inner radiance, even briefly, we can call off our search for truth because the wisdom of all eternity is right there within you. You have never lost it. Only misplaced it for a time.
