Luminous Beings

 

“We are luminous beings. We are perceivers.

We are an awareness. We are not objects.

We have no solidity. We are boundless.

The world of objects and solidity

is a way of making our passage on earth convenient.

It is only a description that was created to help us.  

We or rather our reasons, forget

that the description is only a description

and thus we entrap the totality of ourselves in a vicious circle from which we rarely emerge in a lifetime.  

We are perceivers.  

The world that we perceive though is an illusion.  

It was created by a description

that was told to us since the moment we were born.”

~Don Juan speaking to Carlos Castaneda
