Delight
Give great pleasure or
enjoyment to; please highly. Be highly pleased (to do, with), take great pleasure (in). Enjoy greatly, delight in. Oxford Dictionary
Richard: Usually delight is associated with
innocence, naiveté and spontaneity. A much under-rated and rarely found quality in humans but abundantly obvious in the actual
world. This delight, together with perfection and purity, is readily apparent in the peak experience or PCE and is increasingly
experienced on the wide and wondrous path to actual freedom. Delight is, after all, the intrinsic experience of humans when free
of malice and sorrow.
As the senses are increasingly freed, a veritable smorgasbord of
sensual delight becomes readily apparent. Serendipity abounds and a fascination with life activates delight and sensuousness as
one does all one can to mimic the perfection and purity that becomes increasingly apparent all around in the physical world.
One’s mind, more and more freed of imagination and the chemical influence of instinctual passions, is capable of great clarity
and, as apperceptive awareness replaces self-centred neurosis, one knows one’s days are numbered. One is literally and
figuratively coming to one’s senses and is less as less affected by feelings and emotions arising from the animal instinctual
passions.

By this total and
sincere dedication to what is actual, pure and perfect, one eventually abandons control, so to speak, whereby the very process of
‘self’-immolation is set in motion – then it is not a process that one has any control over, it is happening by itself.
From the position of delight, one
can vitalize one’s joie de vivre by the amazement at the fun of it all ... and then one can – with sufficient abandon –
become over-joyed and move into marvelling at being here and doing this business called being alive. Then one is no longer
intellectually making sense of life ... the wonder of it all drives all intellectual sense away. Such delicious wonder fosters the
innate condition of naiveté (which is the closest one can get to innocence) the nourishing of which is essential if the charm of
it all is to occur. Then, as one stares intently at the world about by glancing lightly with caressing eyes, out of the corner of
one’s eye comes – sweetly – the magical fairy-tale-like paradise that this verdant earth actually is ... and I am the
experiencing of what is happening.
But try not to possess it and make it your own ... or
else ‘twill vanish as softly as it appeared.
