The Acid Diaries (Christopher Gray) / quote 107 of 125
I was everything
Turning a corner in the path, Step 4 struck with blinding clarity. I knew exactly what I was. I was everything. There was the same huge influx of energy as the previous summer. The same astonishment that all my life I could have overlooked the utterly obvious. The same roaring vortex. Whatever I beheld, I was. Perhaps I was more observant than before. I remember stopping and listening to the roar in my head, as attentively as though I had a stethoscope and was trying to establish whether the sound could be the circulation of my own blood. What made observation tricky was that, so self-evident was the way things now were, I could not remember how they had ever seemed any different. Everything was equal. The I was out there: it was an integral part of the world, and on the same footing as everything else. There was no inside.
