BOOK LIGHTS: From “The Journey” by Brandon Bays

Here’s a long quote that describes well something hard to put into words:

“I felt as if my own awareness filled not only the room but extended boundlessly beyond, encompassing everything and in everything.  My mind became utterly still, completely thought-free, and it seemed as if we were all bathing, soaking in this presence of love.  We were steeping in Source.

“After a few minutes we opened our eyes, and as I got ready to speak, it occurred to me that this stillness is contagious.  If there is just one person hanging out in thought-free awareness, everyone ‘catches’ it.  I have since read a beautiful quotation by W.B. Yeats which expresses this perfectly:

“We can make our mind so like still water that beings gather about us to see their own images, and so for a moment live a clearer, perhaps even fiercer, life because of our quiet.
