The Science Of The First Person

The spirituality that denies the universally accepted findings of modern science at all levels, or refuses to face up to them and cheerfully take them on board, is a pathetic and moribund travesty of spirituality. And conversely, the spirituality that perceives in these findings a rich and precious and indeed divine revelation of our time and for our time and just what's needed to treat our sorry condition, is alive and kicking.” (The Third Way, article by Douglas Harding.)

Seen from a distance of 1,000,000 light years you appear as a galaxy (the Milky Way), from a distance of 1 light year as a star (the Solar System), of 100,000 miles as a planet (the Earth), of 10 feet as a human, of 1/1000 inch as a cell. Nearer still you read as molecules, atoms, particles… Only you can complete their outside story and view yourself from 0 inches, as No-thing. Here is the central Reality, of which all those regional views are your appearances. (From the Toolkit For Discovering Who You Are by Douglas Harding)

Man is in appearance a derivative of the world, and intrinsically the origin of the world. (Rumi)

Every visible and invisible creature is a theophany or appearance of God. (Erigena)
