 Picture a burning log, like in a fireplace, a heart.

Now see it as if it were floating in the air a few feet 
in front of you, and notice that there are two elements
here:      the log, and the fire that clings to it.

Now move this image of a burning object into your body, 
so that you can feel it like a warm, comforting glow
inside your chest.

This burning log is real, and it exists inside of you.

The inexhaustible log is called your essence; 
and the fire, the flame, is your life.
