Es justo el punto en el que uno consigue olvidarse de sí mismo, acceder a la nada y atravesarla para encontrarse en el todo. Allí se fusiona con la luz del amor incondicional. En ese momento sabe que forma parte de algo más grande y se siente “en casa”. A partir de ese instante nada es igual. Ya se ha convertido de nuevo en su niño interior, en la inocencia pura.
