What Then?
Original colour lithograph Coeur et fleche / Heart and Arrow, 1985, by Antoni Tàpies.
When the doors of perception are cleansed, you will begin to see the unseen world—the wizard’s world.
There is a wellspring of life within you where you can go for cleansing and transformation.
Purification consists of getting rid of the toxins in your life: toxic emotions, toxic thoughts, toxic relationships.
All living bodies, physical and subtle, are bundles of energy that can be perceived directly.
One day, when Merlin and Arthur were both in a drowsy, summery mood lying beside a stream, Merlin said, “I read a poem as a boy, a long time in the future. I wonder if you will like it?” Arthur pretended he was asleep, covering his face with his hand to ward off the July sun. Whenever Merlin talked about the future as his past, the boy needed a good deal of concentration to follow him.
“You needn’t try to ignore me,” Merlin went on, “for this poem is too beautiful to neglect:
What if you slept,
And what if,
in your sleep
you dreamed?
And what if,
in your dream,
you went to heaven
and there plucked
a strange and beautiful flower?
And what if,
when you awoke,
you had the flower
in your hand?
What then?”
from ‘The Way of the Wizard’ by Deepak Chopra
