A VAST STORE OF ENERGY

There is a vast store of energy which is not centered, which is not 
ego's energy at all. It is this energy which is the centerless dance 
of phenomena, the universe interpenetrating and making love to 
itself. It has two characteristics: a fire quality of warmth and a 
tendency to flow in a particular pattern, in the same way in which 
fire contains a spark as well as the air which directs the spark. And 
this energy is always ongoing, whether or not it is seen through the 
confused filter of ego. It cannot be destroyed or interrupted at all. 
It is like the ever-burning sun. It consumes everything to the point 
where it allows no room for doubt or manipulation.

 From "Love," in THE MYTH OF FREEDOM and the Way of Meditation, page 
109. Shambhala Library edition.
