What do I have a GIVENNESS NOW to?

Undressing invisible me.


“All sin starts from the assumption that my false self, the self that exists only in my egocentric desires, is the fundamental reality of life to which everything else in the universe is ordered.

Thus I use up my life in the desire for pleasures and the thirst for experiences, for power, honor, knowledge, and love to clothe this false self and construct its nothingness into something objectively real.  

And I wind experiences around myself and cover myself with pleasures and glory like bandages in order to make myself perceptible to myself and to the world, as if I were an invisible body that could only become visible when something visible covered its surface.”  Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation

A cover up?






…the revealing.

I have a GIVENNESS NOW to undressing invisible me.
