The Acid Diaries (Christopher Gray) / quote 111 of 125
The Clear Light of the Void
Repeatedly over the following days I tried to relive those few apocalyptic seconds. For a timeless moment I had stood apart from everything. From absolutely everything. Then there had been nothing. But it had been so fast, so brutal, so like the proverbial bolt of lightning . . . yet that was exactly what it had been like. A flash, a blinding flash. Now I could see why Tibetan Buddhists called the ultimate vision “the Clear Light of the Void” and why they insisted that seeing it naked inevitably meant recoiling in mortal terror.
