“The Self”

Excerpt from “Remembering Eternity”: “One came to know the Self, not the personal self, but the Self that united everything, the One Consciousness that was Reality: the Eternal, the Peaceful; the Blissful, the Pure; the Self that had always been in existence and always would be but which, in ignorance, the cloudy dreams of passion generated by the ego and the mental apparatus had hidden from view. In nirvana, the flame of this passion died, and, with its extinction, the seemingly endless iterations of becoming ceased. The illusion of samsara, the hallucination of non-self generated by the ego’s projection equipment, disappeared. All that existed was the Infinite Self. It might take on whatever guise it chose, for the Self was infinitely creative, but the enlightened being knew all that he saw only as the Self.”

Richard Maddox

Richard Dietrich Maddox's writing focuses on the search for permanent happiness, the goal of finding paradise on earth, the attainment of human Enlightenment. His work, though fiction, attempts to convey the profound spiritual Truth passed on to humanity by Enlightened Masters. Maddox approaches spiritual wisdom from a Western level of experience, presenting characters to whom readers can easily relate, offering situations in which readers might well have found themselves. His work offers, in a style which those living in the West will find understandable, the possibility of blissful existence.
