“You are only a disciple because your eyes are closed.
The day you open them you will see there is nothing you
can learn from me or anyone. What then is a Master for?
To make you see the uselessness of having one.”
Anthony de Mello
Before I answer the door, let’s make sure we’re all on the same page. The central premise of this book is the admittedly ridiculous but incontrovertibly true assertion that the universe does not exist. This is something you can understand conceptually, like watching a documentary about Antarctica, or experientially, like moving to Antarctica. There’s also a related phenomenon where you fall asleep watching the documentary and wake up in the frozen wasteland. That’s gotta be weird, but the truth is that you’re asleep in a barren wasteland dreaming that you’re not, so that’s where waking up gets you.
