Non duality

The spirit world and the material world are the same world. They are the two sides of the same coin. Body and soul are not two separate substances.

What is matter? What is an electron, a particle, or a wave? What does it consist of? What is a quark? What does a quark consist of? Vibrating strings? What is dark matter? 

Why is it so hard for you to see that matter is as mysterious as a spirit? What is a spirit made of?

You have no idea of what will happen to you after your death. Maybe you will live on in some other physical form. Maybe you will be resurrected in another universe. Maybe you simply dissolve and disappear forever. You don't know.

Life is a mystery; death is a mystery, everything is a mystery.

Paranormal phenomena

Dean Radin, Charles T. Tart, and Russell Targ, to mention a few prominent scientists, have proved that telepathy, clairvoyance, and synchronicities are real phenomena; paranormal phenomena are not just fantasies.

However, the influence of the paranormal dimension is almost negligible here in everyday life. Common sense, money, sex appeal, and social status are much more powerful tools.

 

Self-deception

Delusions are warm and comfortable.

Awakening is like a cold shower.

The true self

The true self is the person you are behind the mask.

The mask is the false self.

The true self may be sad, jealous, pessimistic, or needy.
The false self is more attractive: positive, optimistic, cool, or agreeable.

The false self is the person you want to be and pretend to be.
The true self is the one you are when you don't pretend.

Sometimes, though, the true self is happy.

To whom it may concern

Which part of you is sitting behind the wheel right now?

Where are you heading?
Are you bored; are you burning gas?

Are you out on a vengeance trip?

Are you on the run?

Are you going to pick up a pizza, a six pack of beer and cigarettes?

But you have stopped smoking, haven't you?

Who is the driver?

Is it Mr. or Mrs. Howthingsoughttobe?

Is your true self asleep in the trunk?

Imagine your true self sitting in the driver's seat.

What would he or she do?

Has the true self a gender? What do you think?

Which you?

Why are you here? Seriously.

In money we trust

The most important thing in the modern world is money. Without money, you are in serious trouble. Good looks, good food, and good sex are also vital.

Moreover, you have to be somebody. You have to have an identity. You have to have a position. To merely be a human being among 7 billion other human beings is to be a loser.

Materialism is king. You are your body and your credit rating. Idealism, generosity, and spirituality are like art and good table manners. They make you appear cultivated and profound.

So, how do you explain that many people are so desperately trying to escape these facts? What are they looking for? Why can't they see that there is no other God but money? Why can't they see that life has no meaning? Why do they refuse to accept reality?

Accepting death is hard

All people die, rich and poor, high-brow and low-brow. Species die out, and civilizations go under. Death, decline and destruction are natural parts of the creation.

More than 99% of all species that have ever lived have become extinct. So, why are we so concerned about the extinction of Homo sapiens?

This is not a nice thought, even though it is reality-based; it makes us depressed. Most people prefer pleasant thoughts.
