Masculine people, by their nature, tend to want to make everything into a journey with a goal.

They see that who they are is the silence in which sound is happening, the spaciousness in which movement occurs. This kind of recognition, whether fleeting or abiding, is called an awakening.

I don't think there is any end to translucence. It's an endless journey, rather like playing the violin.

Most of the myths that we carry about spirituality are because we have been dominated by this hyper-masculine trance.

Feminine spirituality is much more about the emanation of love in this moment, feeling into this moment, feeling the texture of this moment through the skin, through the body, and then letting your life become an emanation of love.

I think the main way that somebody would know they're translucent is that their life has become more about the embodiment of Spirit than about acquisition, and that may be something that creeps up on you.

The Iago trance is a state that we've really come to accept as normal, even if we may not feel it to be natural.
