Being whose photograph graced the book's jacket. . . in
an instant, a shift occurred. There was no granite topped
counter and wooden stool with music in the background. There
was not a shred of bodily awareness whatsoever. There was
only a Bright, Radiant Field of Whitest Light, a tiny point
of witness, and the most extraordinary, limitless, astonishing
feeling of extravagant and limitless Joy."

a separate "self". Adi Da contrasted this ego-based
