Guest guest Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 This is an incredible collection, Sandeep! Many thanks, and a deep bow, hats off. Thanks once again for your numerous, brilliant contributions on SufiMystic. I will forward this to a number of groups that I am a member of and I will urge members to reread this a few times.

With the hologram, the movement of interference patterns of coherent light enfolds a subtle range of structures and orders. In a similar, but unthinkably vaster, way, the whole movement or "holomovement" of the universe carries the implicate order and allows us to see and experience our four-dimensional space-time world. > > - An expressing through the objects named Briggs and Peat, in Looking Glass Universe > > > >Movement arises from flashes of energy. > > >This movement is a continued and infinitely rapid succession of flashes of energy. > >All objects perceptible to our senses, all phenomena of whatever kind and whatever aspect they assume, are constituted by a rapid succession of instantaneous events. > >------ > > > Mind, I believe, exists as fleeting energy in parallel universes. The universe we perceive consists of the overlap of these fleeting flashes of energy. The patterns create mind as surely as they create matter.

They teach him to look, with the same serene indifference at the incessant working of his mind and the physical activity displayed by the body.

It is because they fear that with the disappearance of the 'images seen in dreams', the illusory 'Ego' which is an integral part of them will disappear. They have not yet perceived that the real face of this chimerical 'Ego' is the face of Death. As long as the idea of this impermanent Ego lasts, this simple mass of elements which various causes have brought together and which other causes will separate, death also subsists. > >The Teaching alludes to the disappearance of this phantom from the field of our mental activity when it refers to whom 'death does not see', that is, he for whom death does not exist. > > > - Expressed as The Secret Oral Teachings in Tibetan Buddhist Sects > >There are moments when one feels free from one's own identification with human limitations and inadequacies.
