Life as a Continuous, Radical Stream of Events

"Throughout history, attempts have been made to contain those experiences which happen at the end of the limit where the mind is vulnerable... Those moments, those what you might call liminal, limit, frontier, edge zone experiences are actually now becoming the norm... And when we are obviously entered into that mode, you can see a radical subjectivity, radical attunement to individuality, uniqueness to that which the mind is, opens itself to a vast objectivity... The moment is not just a passing empty nothing, yet - and this is the way in which these secret passages happen - yes, it's empty with such fullness that the great moment, the great life of the universe, is pulsating in it. And each one, each object, each place, each act leaves a mark. And that story is singular. But, in fact, it's story after story."
