Perception Is Gone

Perception Is Gone

i look
i hear

i touch

i smell

but there is nothing
to see
nothing to hear

nothing to touch

nothing to smell

all sight is gone
all hearing is silent

all things disappear

all smell is bland

i know myself as One
so what can there be
but me
in many disguises
and veiled existences

in every place

with the scent of purity

"This is a very simple course. Perhaps you do not feel you need a course
which, in the end, teaches that only reality is true. But do you believe it?
When you perceive the real world, you will recognize that you did not
believe it. Yet the swiftness with which your new and only real perception
will be translated into knowledge will leave you but an instant to realize
that this alone is true. And then everything you made will be forgotten; the
good and the bad, the false and the true. For as Heaven and earth become
one, even the real world will vanish from your sight. The end of the world
is not its destruction, but its translation into Heaven. The
reinterpretation of the world is the transfer of all perception to
knowledge." (T-11.VIII.1)
