The joke is that there is only one time or place in which illumination happens. It's not something you'll ever find or that will happen down the road some time. Illumination is a radical change. An inner Pandora's box. Once opened, one can't close it.

The whole point (once one truly sees there is no separation) is mastering the creative energies available to the self. Creativity is omnipresent. It pulses through every morsel of life. With my awakening came an awareness of this creative energy and a rush of creative impulses. My life since has been one of creating things through mental and physical action. I've created love, health, and bodies of work in different mediums, including music, art, business, writing, and athletics. Some things manifest just by visualizing them (some things).

The greatest medium is one's journey through life. Which me? Which world? Something as simple as a spoken word can change the direction of one's life. Not everything is possible for everyone, but just because I'm 50 years old, short, and will never be able to play center for the Golden State Warriors doesn't mean there isn't still an infinity of experiences that are probable and that I can make happen. Here and now.

With illumination comes great responsibility. Which me? Which world?
