“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 the truth is more dominant than your mind, you stop thinking and look around in amazement! For example, when underwater, the dominant force is not your mind, but reality itself.”
“The intolerance of uncertainty and ignorance flows not only from
pridefulness, but from a universal human desire to find meanings and patterns
everywhere. The mind abhors a vacuum.”

“The more you allow your mind to be present without being bombarded with thoughts, opinions and judgments, the more peace and spaciousness you’re going to feel in your life.”
“It's not the body that attracts me, it's the mind.
Beautiful bodies are seen around every corner. Brilliant minds are not. They are rare.
And they are often unique.”
“Let aspirations reach as leaves / which feel for sun beyond the clouds, / whatever warmth and radiance / might make your mind more like the rose:
(from Florescence)”

“Consider the sunlight. You may see it is near, yet if you follow it from world to world you will never catch it in your hands. Then you may describe it as far away and, lo, you will see it just before your eyes. Follow it and, behold, it escapes you; run from it and it follows you close. You can neither possess it nor have done with it. From this example you can understand how it is with the true Nature of all things and, henceforth, there will be no need to grieve or to worry about such things.”
