This is the wind that further frees even the free. As his soul rose on that wind, it seemed to expand and flow out in all directions at once. Rising steadily upward, he passed through the arched windows of that celestial mansion and began a journey that would penetrate even the most distant, the most veiled mysteries of heaven. He slipped stealthfully across secret skies, across worlds and all their skies, growing deeper and wider as he did so, traveling beyond the starry reach of any sky, of any universe, to a place where no one could follow. There, lost in the divine and infinite distances of nothingness itself, he too disappeared, his last breath released, like a luminous song, into the void of a transcendent eternity.”-Astika Royal Mason, A Dream Immortal, 2023 References: “From Here to Enlightenment” - HH the Dalai Lama https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12505636-from-here-to-enlightenment Ardor - Roberto Calasso https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/134839029-ardor-by-roberto-calasso The Mirror of Simple Souls - Marguerite Porete https://youtu.be/HvivvGZydFA Agni in Hinduism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agni Rig Veda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigveda --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/william-engels/support

Write like you’re a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there’s no chance for a pardon. Write like you’re clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breath, and you’ve got just one last thing to say, like you’re a bird flying over us and you can see everything, and please, for God’s sake, tell us something that will save us from ourselves. Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we’re not alone. Write like you have a message from the king. Or don’t. Who knows, maybe you’re one of the lucky ones who doesn’t have to.” -Alan Watts --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/william-engels/support
