Gather in a space of complete darkness. Close your eyes, even in the dark, and breathe deeply nine times. Envision an abyss within your mind, vast and silent. Into this abyss, cast your preconceived notions, your fears, your desires. Watch them fall, dissolving into the nothingness. In the silence that follows, listen not for a voice, but for the echo of your truest, deepest self. Repeat this daily, seeking ever deeper truths.
The path to light is through the deepest shadow.
