' Only 'THAT' exists '...

The ordinary mentalness of the world and the superior reality of Mind illustrate the reign of relativity.

This does not mean that the world is so utterly illusory that it is non-existent.

It has a relative existence for everyone.

But the enlightened ones are aware of the truth that Mind-in-Itself is there.

They know it also by the wonderful experience of cosmic consciousness when everything falls away--including their own personal ego--and only THAT remains.

This is not merely their point of view but something far and away beyond it that can only happen in the state of contemplation; hence it is a temporary one but--as Plotinus mentioned--a recurrent or accessible one.
