You are separate from the universe, therefore you experience it.
As long as you exist, you are aware of the manifest universes through the senses, through feelings and through mind.
Reality is not the world as you perceive it. Reality is the world perceived through enlightenment. It’s the same world; but it’s not the same world.
The stars in the sky last for billions of years. That’s nothing to the mind, nothing. It’s an instant, a millisecond. The mind shines radiantly forever. But we don’t see the shine because of the clutter.
Unlike the experience of nirvana, traveling to other dimensions will not take you beyond suffering, nor will it help you experience the limitless ecstasy of creation.
In the realm of the higher astral, it’s just fun. We’re on the honeymoon and we love each other so much that we can’t keep our hands off each other and everything is wonderful. It doesn’t last; it’s a honeymoon.
Everyone is afraid of enlightenment, knowledge, completion. People are afraid of being exposed.
It’s only illusions that destroy us. It’s illusions that convince us that we can’t. It’s the illusions of the transient that tell us that all this matters.
Reincarnation is a dance. It is a movement of life to the rhythm of the universe. Spirit and matter join together as one dancing partner. They dance and it goes on forever.
Bodies come and go, ages come and go, yugas come and go, eternities come and go. Selves come and go.
Reincarnation is a cyclic process. There are endless levels of creation, different universes. In each one something similar is taking place, the evolution of spirit through matter.
All incarnations are lived at once, and yet there does seem to be a linear sense of time when you’re in the vortex of time and space, when your consciousness is fixated in a body.
We pass through hundreds, thousands, perhaps millions of existences. In each lifetime, we’re exploring another part of our own self, which is eternity.
Reincarnation is an apprehension of a movement and the movement occurs in time. Without time, there is no reincarnation. Reincarnation is a reflection of time in this world.
Mind is not simply the collection of aggregate cells inside your brain. If you are only the grey matter, then when that dies, you won’t exist any more. It’s not that easy. You exist forever.
Reincarnation is simply changing awareness. What you are reincarnating into are different states of mind. The whole show is on the inside.
Reincarnation is a process in which a finite being will go through a series of transmutations and will perceive different things. There will be a continuity of perception.
Most people don’t why they are born or why they die. They have no understanding of the forces in life that pull them and push them to their death and another rebirth in this or another world.
Reincarnation is happening all the time. Every moment we are going through a change. Our being isn’t solid. Reincarnation is now.
It is the Buddhist belief that at every moment the universe is not only dying but being reborn.
