It is said that when you know yourself, you know God. That is not because of human effort. Rather, God is the mirror in which you see yourself in your perfection because you can never see God, just as you don’t see the mirror when you look at your reflection. Continue reading
Laura was that rare combination of intelligence, beauty, and brashness that made “men desire her and women envy her.” She draws attention that will lift her out of her office job into the world of the rich and powerful. Continue reading
This darkness is ignorance or, more precisely, unconsciousness of ignorance — that is to say the natural man is in a state of ignorance and cannot even be conscious of that state. To free himself from it, he must pass to the darkness; this is a terrifying and painful experience, for it ruins and destroys all the patencies and norms on which the natural man lived and depended — a true “descent into hell”, the hell of the unconscious.

For the second phase of Gornahoor, I have listened to comments and suggestions. So instead of reprising the same topic in different contexts, I will have a few core topics which will be updated and corrected as necessary. They will be the foundation for everything else. Continue reading

I look down, straight down, and experience the same vertigo as if it were there physically in front of me. It is not the fear of falling that is the cause.
