Grace
It is not that when you go through the emptiness you'll feel
"Oh, now I have a true self." The perspective of having
something is the perspective of the separate self, the personality.
So it not that you are a little brilliant entity and you have
love, compassion, beauty; no, the whole shift happens because
the true identity is the identity with all Essence, with all of
reality. This very moment, not related to past or future, is the
center, and from there you can see that you are nothing but grace.
Not only does life have meaning, but it is a grace, as if the
heavens opened and poured grace into you. You will see that your
very nature is that grace, pure unoriginated preciousness, which
you don't see by looking but by being. There is no sense of separateness
between the looking and the being; they are one act. To be yourself
means you are Essence, you are Being, you are the significance,
you are the meaning. (Diamond Heart Book 3, pg 47)
