It happened, as we walked into the narrow space between Fantasy and Metaphor, that we came upon the hills of Truth, and I sensed above me that which I could not know but almost did.
I asked the man, "Tell me, kind sir, what is it that I cannot know but almost do?"
"I cannot tell you," said the man.
We continued on, until we reached the rippling waters of the Self. And as we watched the gentle waves, I sensed behind me that which I once knew but then forgot.
I asked the man, "Tell me, kind sir, what is it that I once knew but then forgot?"
"I've already told you," said the man.
We continued on, until we arrived at the very center of Love. There we stood, and suddenly I sensed within me that which I knew, but could not speak.
I asked the man, "Tell me, kind sir, what is it that I know but cannot speak?"
And the man said, "That is You."
Then I said, "But if I cannot speak it, how will They ever know Me?"
The man laughed. "They already do," he said.
Then he turned and walked away, toward the narrow space between Fantasy and Metaphor whence he had come.
