This Quintessence of Dust: If Humans Aren’t Dust, What Are They? Quotes

“The “quintessence of dust” is zero-finity-infinity. It can be expressed as the local plus the non-local, matter and mind, nature and supernature, physics and metaphysics, body and soul, Creation and the Creator, the dream and the dreamer, spacetime and singularity. Ontological mathematics alone can elucidate all of these relationships. It’s all in the math! It’s not as if it could be anywhere else. 1 + 1 = 2.”

“What is a dream? It’s an externalized thought, a projected thought. The mind makes a world that seems separate from the mind, but is in fact wholly contained by the mind and vanishes when the mind ceases to think about it. The universe itself is just the same. It’s a projected thought. It is born in mind, and mind can end it, and eventually does. Then starts it up again. A new dream is launched.”

“When man no longer regards himself as karmic he ceases to be so. That’s the end of karma right there – when people stop believing in it, stop taking the idea seriously, stop treating it as real. Hinduism and Buddhism are total nonsense because they are predicated on karma, which is an illusion! They themselves say so!”
