So far, it might seem as if working on the shell and the emptiness led to the realization of the point of light. But then I remembered that even before this entire sequence of inquiry, before the shell and the narcissism and the hurt, I’d already had experiences of this point of light. Once in a while, the point of light would arise and, once in a while, I would become it, but not as completely as in the experience that I described.
What is possible for one’s individual consciousness is also possible for the blended consciousness of two individuals—but with an amplified and intensified potentiality. Two as one can bring more variation of depth and breadth to the process of realization than is possible on one’s own. You are able to see the Beloved in your partner and see your partner in yourself, like a hall of mirrors into the infinity of the infinite. You become a field of one, sensitive presence with the appearance of two, peering into the endless openness within one another.
