You are radiant when you manage to lose your
self-consciousness. When you drop your list of ‘don’ts,’ when
you let go of how you should be, then you radiate the clear
light of your real self. This radiant self is not dying for a
new
car or dragging itself to work every day. This ‘you’ has no
problem with happiness; it accepts you as you are.
Radiant light is what you are
made of, suddenly visible and palpable in this world. This is
who you are, above and beyond what you think of yourself. To
experience this radiance, drop
all the conditions you maintain to keep your image of yourself
alive.
You can’t return to ignorance or
denial when you come this far. You are past the point of no
return. You can watch TV, play video games, or tour the mall,
all great ways to avoid an encounter with yourself, but a soul
deprived of knowing its
real self is homeless.
Claim the radiant self that is
your destiny. This is your own
true self revealing itself to the world. This is the opportunity
you’ve been waiting for.
