' ... try to remember : remember the great event when
you breathed out and created this entire kosmos ; remember the great emptying when you threw yourself out as the entire
World, just to see what would happen. Remember the forms and forces through which you have traveled thus far : from
galaxies to planets, to verdant plants reaching upward for the sun, to animals stalking day and night, restless with
their weary search, through primal men and women, yearning for the light. ...remember who and what you have been,what you
have done, what you have seen, who you actually are in all those guises the masks of the God and Goddess, the masks of
your Original Face. Let the great search wind down ; let the self-contraction uncoil in the immediateness of present
awareness ; let the entire Kosmos rush into your being, since you are its very ground ; and then you will remember that
the Atman project never occurred, and you have never moved, and it is all exactly as it should be, when the robin sings
on a glorious morning, and rain drops beat on the temple roof '.
Ken Wilber, "The Atman Project", A Transpersonal
View of Human Development, 1996
