“One of the main philosophical problems has always been the dualism between mind and matter. Although logical and rather obvious, this dualism becomes less logical and evident if we break the limitations of our senses and habitual thinking. This paradigm has established itself as almost the absolute truth, but is it true that there is a definite difference between mind and matter, or is matter only a property of mind, a creation of mind?”

“Matter is a manifestation of a Universal Mind and not something inherently different from the mind. Accepting our limitations allows us to see and understand what matters. In ancient times, the difference between body and mind was less significant to ancient than modern man. In this way, we become more perceptible and tuned to higher frequencies that lead us to ever creating and self-recreating Mind through matter as its program of life.”

“The matter we see is not the matter that exists. The whole Universe is a vast transmitter of the ultimate message of life. Every being that participates in the game of life is a messenger, regardless of how minuscule it is. The whole Universe is a mental system. This system powers all that exists. Perception is an idea. Matter is an idea. There is nothing beyond thought, mind, spirit, or information.”
