The Individual As He Is
There is no other self to know the self of an individual self than the self which he is.
(Since the 'individual' is inseparable from what-he-is, like flame and fire, there is no self to know the individual except the self which is inseparable from what-he-is.)

The quality called 'humility' refers to the lack of anyone to possess it.
* * *
'You cannot see it because you are transparent.'
(stop reading until you see what this means).* * *
I am the awareness of being aware that I am universal awareness, the first dim, the second brilliant, the last a blinding radiance.
* * *
Beware of beatified individuality.
* * * * *
