As we move inward through the strata of thoughts, memories, feelings and dreams we gradually begin to see the radiance of an inner light. The more we leave thought behind, the brighter the light becomes. It's like walking through fog that ends along the way on the pathway to the summit.
At some point we emerge from the misty veil of thoughts into the clear skies of stillness. Here is the light that always shines and the peace that is beyond understanding. The Buddha said this is the state of awakening that makes our life seem a dream.
