It depends on all of them, you see, because to become interested in enlightenment or spiritual evolution or salvation, to be interested in Jesus or Buddha, or going to church is already great, good karma, is it not? I mean, eighty-seven percent of the population doesn’t even get that far. Eighty-seven percent of the population is not devoted to truth, or the pursuit of truth. To merely get on the map itself is incredible. We’re going through meditation to the realization that one is the awareness, one is the space out of which the word “cat” arose. The space is blank. Consciousness is blank. That consciousness has been likened to a light because it’s the light of Consciousness itself. You realize that that is the manifestation, and beyond that is the Unmanifest, because Consciousness itself arose out of an a priori condition. Out of the darkness arose the light, and out of the light, Consciousness. Consciousness striking matter evolved as life. That all becomes obvious.
