All is Truth.
Mind and Matter are but one, inextricably linked unit. There is not matter without the mind to perceive it, just as there is not mind without matter to be perceived.
Matter without mind is a mirror, lest a beholder. What then is to be reflected? The mirror is imageless.
Mind without matter is a stream without land. Mind, then, would not manifest, as the stream, then, would be an infinite, shore-less, ocean.
Mind and matter act upon each other, as a stream acts upon the Earth and vice-versa. The stream erodes the land, it smoothes the rocks, yet all the time it flows; seemingly guided by the land that is truly just as much guided by the stream.
Is it the water that shapes the riverbed, or is it the riverbed that shapes the water? I say it is neither, because one does not exist without the other. The riverbed is not given shape without the water, just as the water is not given shape without the riverbed. They are one and the same. Mind and Matter therefore are one and the same.
Just as time and space can not be uttered separately and so we say: “Space-Time” we should also be saying: “Mind-Matter”. If we walk down this path of thought for a great enough distance we see, however, that there is not a thing in this universe that can be separated. This is because all things, anything, we can possibly imagine can not be separated from all other things that we know. So then we say the mind is the source of all things, since the mind is the source of all knowledge, although it is impossible to know the mind alone. We only see a reflection of the mind. The best we can do is to acquire hints about its true nature; it’s essence. This essence is called the soul. Therefore it is safe to say that the only thing we can truly know is the soul.
The soul is that upon which all manifestation occurs.
All of existence, all of reality, is but one. Nothing can be taken as individual, it is all a part of the whole. We can only see parts in relationship to the other parts. Anything that has meaning only has that meaning in relationship to these other parts that form the very same whole. How then can we judge anything? It will only be judged in the context of other things, which then can only be judged in the context of still other things- eventually circling around to form an infinite loop. There is no true meaning. It simply can not be so. Just as apples apple, as peoples people, everything everything’s, but because of the illusion of meaning, which can only be derived from a sense of false knowledge that leans upon itself to form its very foundation there appears to be separation. It appears that people do things other than what can simply be put as “peopling”. Separation is but a delusion of a sick mind, diseased with false knowledge! The foundation of thought, of language, is this false knowledge. Articulate thought, as it can be called, that we “civilized” and “intelligent” human beings believe puts us as superior to all other life-forms is but a disease! Its entire mode of operation is division! The only truth is the whole. Anything divided is but a lie that is holding itself up by its own bootstraps!
There is no meaning to reality. There is no meaning to existence. There is no meaning to life other than itself, like a beautiful dance. This is truth.
All is truth.
