Grasping experience by conceptual designation, which is how the egoic mind operates, is itself the energetic display of the nature of reality. Objects that appear in the mind are also the radiant display of the ineffable. ~ Manjusrimitra
Hell is not a place but a state/frequency of consciousness, one that we can access during life or after death, same with heaven. In both cases it is a Self-created projection, like the rest of experience, with hell reflecting our own lack of love for ourselves based on the…
A bottleneck for science is that people with a closed heart don’t really know what reality is

There does not exist a singular past or objective timeline that led to this moment. The moment of creation is always Now, and the past is projected and retroactively real-ized as cause by the consciousness that you are, when it is believed to be the case (along with belief in…
We believe that things can either be this or that - A or not A - but never both. We assume this is a law of reality, but it is actually the law of Mind. In fact it is the whole function of Mind, to choose between A and not A, to collapse the wave, to say "this, specifically, is…
