In each body resides a self, but the self is many; as each of our emotions is a unique self. The selves control us, like guards keeping us imprisoned. The prison doesn't allow us the freedom to experience the now as it is. As we identify with the selves, we only experience the now as our selves. Escaping the prison is awakening to the realization our selves are an illusion.   With many selves controlling us, it's overwhelmingly difficult to escape their clutches. Escaping is possible, when all our selves are integrated as one self. This is the purpose of meditation.   “Muddy water, let stand, becomes clear.” -- Lao Tzu Meditation calms the selves. Once calmed, the selves become one. The self no longer guards us. It is our child. Lovingly, we can then put the self to sleep. Then we can awaken.   Awakened, what we are is beyond our self. We are the soul. The soul's singular emotion is love. We love the self and every thing beyond the self, for all are expressions of the one soul....

He who knows does not speak as the noisy now can only be known by observation from the silent space outside the now.   He who describes the now does not know; for descriptions are static, while the now is an everchanging flow. Words are like the precise space inside a square. The endless and everchanging now is like the imprecise space inside a circle (a function of the transcendental number, π (pi)). A circle cannot be squared. Descriptions are empty, as what's described is now no longer.   He who speaks is an actor in the play of life. For actors, the play is a drama. He who knows is the audience. For the audience, the play is a divine comedy. He who laughs cannot speak. He who knows delights in watching the play; an experience he cares not interrupt by speaking which would transition him into an actor. Like speaking: “As soon as you have made a thought, laugh at it.” -- Lao Tzu...

From every position in time or space, the universe seems an infinite and endless number of unique and everchanging things. However, the etymology of the word "universe" is literally "turned into one." The universe is all things as one thing: the universe is the universe. As all the seemingly independent things are unique and everchanging, nothing can be described or explained but with one (uni) verse: It is what it is whatever it is....

With eyes open, our mind shows us the infinite manifestations of reality. With eyes closed, we see one thing: nothing, the true nature of reality....

With one eye, we can see. With two eyes, we have depth perception. With one mind, we have a view. With many minds, we have perspective....
