“All One”
“Sonca and Stilla arranged get-togethers at which all the residents of the Palace met one another and shared each other’s joy and Enlightenment. What a sight it was when such a diverse group of spiritual Beings came together and blended their innocent ecstasies. For, of course, it made no difference at all what the specific form of one’s tradition was. All that counted was that the multifarious chants, prayers, meditations, songs, dances, spells, and visions all carried those enjoying them beyond the limitations of mental constructs and into the undifferentiated and boundless sea of Pure Consciousness. One might imagine these various methods of spiritual practice as the different elements in a landscape perfectly organized by nature to present supreme beauty. There were the mountains as shapely as the modest but fine curves of a woman’s body. They were covered with grass that resembled a green felt shawl draped over the body of the woman. The cyan blue sky, juxtaposed to this soft green, proved poignant. The white sun blinded all who dared to look upon it. Each element in this land- and skyscape was different from the others, but together they formed a natural masterpiece.” (from “Palace of Perfect Wisdom”)
