EGO & BEING
I am the first and the last. This is not the claim of a distant deity but the truth of the awareness in which you exist. Before any thought arises, there is the simple sense of I Am. After every thought passes, that same presence remains. It is the beginning and the end of all experience, the space in which all forms come and go.
When you touch that formless presence within yourself, you are meant to let it shine into your ordinary life, into every place and every relationship you inhabit. What you have truly seen of your own being becomes the quiet message that your life delivers to everyone around you.

ESOTERIC
The first and the last name the whole span of consciousness in a single voice, the beginning and end held inside one awareness that runs the length of the inner man. The 7 churches are the 7 centers of energy along the spinal column, the ganglia rising from base to crown, and the vision is to be inscribed and sent through each of them in turn.
These are not congregations in a far province but stations within the body, each a different pitch of the same rising force. The whole work is the light traveling up its own ladder, addressing each center as it climbs toward the seventh at the head.
Alpha and Omega: the first and last of consciousness, the full span of awareness held in one voice within Book: the body itself, the scroll on which the inner vision is written and read 7 churches: the 7 energy centers along the spine, the ganglia rising from the base of the body to the crown Asia: the field of the awakening body where the centers are set and the force ascends
Ego v. Being lens
What does my presence hand to the people around me today?
He kept returning people to one question, who am I. Before any thought there is the plain sense of being, and that is what you actually are.
After the stillness, the teachers say, carry water and chop wood. What you found in silence is meant to show up in your most ordinary hours.
The sage does not announce anything. By being quietly true, their presence does the work that arguing never could.
