:33:03
To say yes to one instant...
:33:07
is to say yes
to all of existence.

:33:12
The main character is
what you might call "the mind."

:33:15
It's mastery,
it's capacity to represent.

:33:19
Throughout history,
attempts have been made...

:33:21
to contain those experiences which
happen at the edge of the limit...

:33:26
where the mind
is vulnerable.

:33:30
But I think we are in
a very significant moment in history.

:33:34
Those moments, those what
you might call liminal,

:33:37
Limit, frontier,
edge zone experiences...

:33:40
are actually now
becoming the norm.

:33:43
These multiplicities
and distinctions and differences...

:33:46
that have given great
difficulty to the old mind...

:33:49
are actually through entering
into their very essence,

:33:54
tasting and feeling
their uniqueness.

:33:58
One might make a breakthrough
to that common something...

:34:02
that holds them together.
:34:05
And so the main character is,
to this new mind,

:34:11
greater, greater mind.
:34:13
A mind that yet is to be.
:34:16
And when we are obviously
entered into that mode,

:34:19
you can see
a radical subjectivity,

:34:23
radical attunement to individuality,
uniqueness to that which the mind is,

:34:27
opens itself
to a vast objectivity.

:34:30
So the story is
the story of the cosmos now.

:34:33
The moment is not just a passing,
empty nothing yet.

:34:38
And this is in the way
in which these secret passages happen.

:34:42
Yes, it's empty
with such fullness...

:34:47
that the great moment,
the great life of the universe...

:34:52
is pulsating in it.
:34:55
And each one, each object,
each place, each act...
