The last page is the first

The book ends where it began. Read page one again, and you will find it is a different page, because you are a different reader.

Read to me

0:00 / –:––
An open door at dawn, light falling across the threshold into a quiet room.

This is the last page, and it sends you back to the first.

Page one asked you to read while watching yourself. You may remember how hard that was: the attention slipping into the words every few lines, the reader vanishing into the reading.

Read it again now. You may find it a little easier. You may find it just as hard, and see more clearly why. Either way, it is a different page, because you are a different reader.

That is how this teaching works. It is not finished by reading it once. Each time you return, you meet it at a new depth. The same words open further, because something in you has opened.

So do not put this book away. Keep it near. Open it on a bad day, or a good one, to any page, and do what it asks. Read it again next year.

You were asleep when you began. You are still mostly asleep, as everyone is. But something in you has been watching while you read, and it is more awake than it was.

Follow it. Begin again.

Try this

  1. Turn to page 1 now.
  2. Read it slowly, watching yourself as it asks.
  3. Notice what is different from the first time.
  4. Then close the book, and carry on with your day, awake.
