We must take a higher position than ordinary religion offers and come
face to face with the mystery that is Mentalism. The nonbeing of the
universe, the nonduality even of the soul may be too mathematical a
conclusion for our finite minds; but that this matterless world and
all that happens in it is like a dream is something to be received and
remembered at all times. We are important only to ourselves, not to
God. All our whining and praying, chanting and praising, gathering
together and imagining that this or that duty is required of us is
mere theatre-play: Mind makes it all. In this discovery we roll up the
stage and return to the paradox of what we really are--Consciousness!
