The words of a sage

The mind of human beings are essentially the same mechanism. 
On the surface of all minds there is an incessant storm of self-referential thoughts. 
They cannot be stopped. 
They are the mind. 
The sense of self and the swirling mnemonic debris are the same phenomenon. 
In the center of all minds is a sublime quiescence. 
Many intuit its presence and attempt to access it through various practices such as meditation or shifting their focus to the "now". 
Long distance runners, surfers and musicians have their unique names for it. 
But it cannot be accessed through intentional effort that originates on the surface. 
The only difference between a sage and a seeker is a sage has one foot in the consensus conceptual overlay and one foot in the sublime quiescense. They experience their perceptual input being beautifully suspended between everything and nothing at all.

========================================================================
In your travels, you may make it to the edge and find yourself staring into the void. 
But you can't go there because......well..... because there's nothing there. 
And you will have to turn around and walk back into the dream knowing that with all it trials and tribulations....with all its uncertainties and scary things........knowing that it is all a mental fabrication.......it is the only place in the manifested universe that you, and all those you love, have any existence. 
This......this dream of separation is your only home. 
And it is grand far beyond anything you could ever imagine.
