At the end of this gradual evolution, my inner universe has achieved homogeneity, not by getting rid of forms, but by abolishing the opposition between forms. Everything becomes equivalent. Now any image can represent the totality of my inner universe adequately. I have become able to experience, in a single perception, not just a partial identification with the not-self, but my total identity with it. All that remains is for not-self to manifest itself; and this is what takes place with the triggering perception reported by those who have experienced satori. In the presence of the self, which is now integrated in a non-manifested totality, not-self makes its appearance, represented by a single phenomenon in which it is totally integrated. A perception then springs forth in which is manifested the totality of self and not-self without any discrimination between them. The totality of the self becomes manifest, but this occurs in the Unity where all things are reconciled and the self seems to vanish utterly in the instant of its fulfillment. Hubert Benoir
