“Transcendence”

Excerpt from “Lucinda”: “In the moments just prior to transcendence, she witnessed all of nature spreading out across her inner eye. There were vast acreages of ancient forests, cirques of steel-blue lakes bounded by icy cliffs, stars populating immense spaces in galaxy upon galaxy upon galaxy, hordes of streaming shooting stars, undulant meadows of richly colored flowers, and rows of endless canyons dropping to dizzying depths. The world and the universe revealed themselves inside her consciousness. No longer were they “out there”; they showed their true nature as “in here.” The cosmos, she now understood, was nothing more than the spreading waves of Pure Awareness.”
