Light from this central place has no opposite. Like the Grail Castle, it is outside time and space.* And we find it in a moment of transcendence. In a flash, what looked like a gray compromise becomes a synthesis of dazzling brilliance. Our own Scripture tells us, “If thy eye be single, thy whole body shall be filled with light” (Matt. 6:22). The singleness of the eye, the center of the seesaw, is the place of enlightenment. This represents a whole new order of consciousness; the inscription on the dollar bill—“Novus Ordo Seclorum”—promises that new age.
