"Bright" Divine-Self Awakening

Adi Da: "Awakening is not a change of state. It is not a movement from a bad mood to a good mood, or from ignorance to knowledge. It is the realization of that which is always already true. Look at your hand. If you squeeze it into a tight fist, you experience pain and tension. If you relax the hand, the tension vanishes. What is the relaxed hand? It is not a new creation. It is simply the hand as it naturally is when you stop squeezing. The 'Bright' is your natural state when you stop squeezing yourself into a separate ego."

Adi Da: "The Divine Self-Condition is the Only Reality. It is the Source-Light, Always Already the Case, prior to all worlds, minds, and bodies. It is not an objective 'God' to be worshiped from a distance, nor is it a subjective 'soul' hidden inside the body. The 'Bright' is the Infinite Radiance that is the very Substance of everything that exists. When the illusion of the separate ego is dissolved, you do not 'go' anywhere; you simply recognize that you are, and have always been, this One, indivisible, and self-luminous Reality."
