“Right now you are in a scene in which the main character is reading these words. In the next moment, you may enter into some far away scene (Imagination). After sleeping, you move through many random scenes (Dreaming). So, you are not a fixed thing which enters in the body at birth and moves out at death. You are a thing which moves constantly from one scene to another, from one character to another.” SoulSelfPhilosophyRealitySpiritualityImaginationDreamsBuddhismReal Self Author:Shunya

Others may be just an illusion.” PhilosophyRealitySpiritualityEnlightenmentIllusionAwakening Author:Shunya
