My understanding is that we are each in the light, and the challenge is to allow and embrace the light, not block it, and live in and from it. At times I have some understanding that what we see is not what is. We have very limited view of Being filtered through the very limited equipment of our senses and through cataracts of conditioning and preconceived notions. What we see is illusion or maya. I very much value William Blake's saying "This life's dim windows of the soul distorts the heavens from pole to pole, and leads you to believe a lie when you see with, not through, the eye." What I make real or realize for me is different than what is. I don't leave my element, to use Suzuki's phrase. Knowing that helps me avoid assuming that what I realize becomes my knowledge, but usually I am hypnotized and don't avoid it.
