So the psychological problem, the way to keep from becoming blocked, is to make yourself – and here is the phrase – transparent to the transcendent. It is as easy as that.*
Joseph Campbell

A fascinating paradox is that most transcendent experiences are completely ego-free.  In the moment, we lose track of our bodies, we lose track of our selves.**
Alan Lightman

“This wasn’t what I expected” –
Thank goodness:
The transcendent is all around us,
In nature, in another, in ideas and artefacts, in god;
Hanging around longer than others are willing to,
Looking longer and deeper,
Being silent and open, are all good skills to hone;
Towards this, when blocked,
Why not read or listen, take a walk or be still,
Not to try to unblock you, but to be otherly.
