“You call yourself a director?” Farid said. Zaman dropped his hands. “I haven’t been paid in over six months. I’m broke because I’ve spent my life’s savings on this orphanage. Everything I ever owned or inherited I sold to run this godforsaken place. You think I don’t have family in Pakistan and Iran? I could have run like everyone else. But I didn’t I stayed. I stayed because of them.” He pointed at the door. “If I deny him one child, he takes ten. So I let him take one and leave the judging to Allah. I swallow my pride and take his goddam filthy… dirty money. Then I go to the bazaar and buy food for the children.”

“You slept and went to the dream world, it was wonderful and then you woke up and found yourself in the nightmare world! If you ask which world to stay in, of course it is the nightmare world! Why? Because the dream world is fake and you always need to be in a real world because the real can be changed and fixed; you should prefer a real hell to a virtual heaven because only when you live the real you are really living!”

“Through the process of “materialization,” the Universal Source “inseminates” and “fertilizes” emptiness (original void) in the love-making cosmic hug between the Universal Source and Emptiness. Reality, even the one we can experience to some extent, is mind-boggling. There could be up to 2 trillion galaxies in our Universe only and up to 200 sextillion (200 billion trillion) stars.”

“In the magnificent and complex web of information in the Universe, everything affects everything else. It is “programmed” in ways that the objects of “physical” reality have some properties and features that affect tertiary qualities in a way that tertiary qualities recognize them with all their features. Depending on the level of tertiary qualities and dispersion, all the feelings, measures, weight of objects, pain, and anything we can imagine will be recognized and felt by tertiary qualities as a direct impact, effect, and consequence of secondary qualities in a literal sense. For instance, people would feel and be able to measure the weight of a physical object and all the rest and be able to feel pain, among other things, as if the whole energy and matter and all their properties and effects were real and not the “programmed” product of the immaterial Universal Source (Mind). Even after the “creation” of the world as we see it, it is still immaterial. Yet, we perceive its qualities and properties based on the “program,” which dictates our reaction to secondary (originally primary) qualities of the world.”

“Even if imagined matter existed independently but did not function as we described, there would only be dead matter. Matter, “artificially” made by the Universal Source, is still immaterial but is more real than if matter existed on its own, irrespective of the Universal Source or its impact. All we experience as energy and matter is immaterial information from the Ultimate Source of all Reality, without which there would be only absolute Nothingness.”

“The phenomenal world is only a different domain of the noumenal world. It is the “intention” of the noumenal to become, on some level, phenomenal. Although from the perspective of the phenomenal, noumenal seems to be metaphysical and transcendent, from the perspective of the noumenal, phenomenal is immanent. Regardless of not having direct immaterial access to the noumenal, through our experience of the phenomenal, we experience the noumenal at the same time.”
