The only sin you can commit in Oz is to be pretentious. And I love pretending. Fortunately my confessor tells me the best way to beat temptation is to give in to it.
But pretending is like dancing. It's simple - you just move your feet - you just move your body to the music.
Or in meditation, you just move your feet to the inner music - you move your whole body to your inner music.
Or if you are in love, you move your feet with the movements of your lover - or you move your whole body in tune with your lover.
So you might say, at first you pretend to be the music - or you pretend to be your inner self - or if you are very lucky, you pretend to be your lover.
You become alive to the music and the music becomes alive for you.
You move together until you can barely tell the difference between you and the music, the inner and love.
Until the difference disappears, and you become the music. Or you become your inner life. Or you become one with your lover.
It is at this precise moment - at this moment of oneness - that the pretending becomes real.
