The World is totally real and it is a complete illusion.
You are mortal and you are immortal.
These conclusions make perfect sense and they make no sense at all.
Enlightenment is the realization that everything is relative to and only has meaning when compared to something else. It also shows us our own inner nature as the nexus where Everything meets. (Not you, silly human. The Simple “I Amness” at the core of all consciousness that is the true You.)
The consciousness that is at the center of who you are is the exact same Consciousness that is at the Center of all there is. The difference is that you are experiencing Reality as filtered through a human brain.
All creatures are truly temples of God.
At your core you are only a Witness. This is very difficult to see through all the programming and auto-piloting “software” that is a human mind. We get so caught up in our dramas, we forget who we are. Often great suffering or fear becomes the catalyst of our Awakening akin to the way a nightmare can jolt us from our little sleep.
When your body and brain die they will both fade away.
But you will still be there!
You will shake off the costume and become aware of your true nature as God.
Death is an illusion. You are already everywhere.
So where could you possibly go?
