Tony Parsons quotes from Maurice Nicholl's book The New Man saying that "he (Nicholl) explained that the word "repent" did not mean 'to show sorrow for your sins and vow never to sin again.' The word in Christ's native tongue, meant 'to turn 180 degrees and see anew.'
And what do I see when I turn my attention 180 degrees from where I usually look? I see that in no way do I resemble what others say I am. Attending to Right Here, I see nothing, but a nothing unlike any I have seen before. This no-thing is aware, is boundless, is always here, and is unmistakably Who I Am and yet no entity, nothing I can hang a name or history on. Simply said, I am Emptiness, awake to being empty.
