When we existed on the other end of the cosmos, or perhaps in another universe? Because there has never been a moment when our spirit wasn\u2019t connected to the great essence, the bottomless ocean of consciousness. We\u2019ve just forgotten. Yet here we are, experiencing it all now. Look around\u2014see the technology, the creations, the potent 26 letters, language, the sky, the trees, even the dead fly on the floor. It\u2019s all empty. And yet, what is reality?<\/p><p>Reality is perception. What we see, hear, touch, smell, taste, feel, and think\u2014these are our bridges between the outer world and the mind. All empty whether we cross those bridges or not. Because time and space are eternal, a perfect circle. But here\u2019s the truth: the outside world is not separate from the mind. It is a reflection of it. You and I are the same. We are one. The way we label existence defines how we experience it.
