Awakening Your Intuitive Knowing, Part VIII

This is Part VIII of a ten part blog. Part I begins on 10/15/07. In order to better understand what follows, it would be best to read the previous parts.

But other things happened during this experience of the “Embrace.” I, also, made the determination and the clear intention at that time that this is what I am here not only to experience personally, but also to share with others. So, I made the resolve that that was what I would be doing with my life. So, as I said at the beginning of this class, “It is truly an honor and a privilege to have you here in this class.

And the next thing I knew, it felt as if I just had one hand on the person and that he and I were one. As well, all was one in the room, all the people, all the objects, all was one. And then a voice drifted into my consciousness and said, “This is the sound of one hand clapping.” This phrase is the famous Zen koan: “What is the sound of one hand clapping?
