If 'this,' the world of things and ideas, is seen as what is real, as true, as 'reality,' then That which is completely and radically 'not-this,' for which there are no words or ideas within 'this,' will necessarily be seen as no thing, as unreal, as Void. Thus it may be feared, dreaded, denied. It is only when 'this,' this so-called 'reality' is completely understood to be dreamlike illusion that what is 'not-this' will, at the same time, be seen to be What Is. Void, then, is not your enemy, but your true Self; and it is the function of the nonexistent, false sense of individual self to hide this from you. The fear and avoidance is seen to be misplaced; in fact it is now impossible; it disapppears, and the heart turns from the illusion of 'this' and opens to What Is. Knowing that its true glory lies where it ceases to exist.
