Time shows that metanoia itself is gift. Metanoia is Being’s miracle of selfhealing for the mind and ego through what is free of the ego-mind. It remakes the mind, retaining its useful qualities but disconnecting the mechanisms of attachment and illusion that make it self-harming. Ramana said that many ‘i’s (many deluded, false selves) are formed every moment. In the deepest centre of our being, where we meet infinite depth, where silence consumes thoughts and images, we enter peace beyond understanding. Here, finally and for ever, we recognise that we are recognised.
