' What We Really Are '...


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!
