"No know" is the way to "know no". When we realize that we know no thing, we can come to know nothing; the essence of every thing. All that is in the now is nothing before and after the now....

As the mind does not sense, the sense it makes of our senses is nonsense....

Pantheism is a religion without religion. Organized religions are identity groups typically defined by institutionalized characteristics: belief systems, sacred texts, rituals, moral codes, communal practices, symbols and anecdotes. As each group perceives itself different from other groups, every religion is inherently dualistic Pantheism dispels with duality. Pantheism is the view that while every thing seems unique, all there is is one everchanging thing: God. Oneness with God is a transcendental experience that dissolves the illusion or separateness. Oneness is a mystical experience (like Sufism, Kabballah, Tantra, and Zen meditation) that doesn't require a religious framework. Oneness transitions us from individual consciousness to divine consciousness. Our view changes from the world being finite things to all there is is the everchanging and eternal Everything, God. In the mystical state of oneness, one loves every thing; though one may not necessarily like every thing. Loving every thing feels like every thing loves us. The reciprocating love is a transcendental peace beyond understanding. Pantheists appreciate organized religions and secular beliefs as different expressions of God; but view them as unnecessary and often funny as they mask the fundamental truth that every thing is sacred. Non-pantheists often don't appreciate pantheistic perspective. People taking themselves seriously are unamused and confused by those who laugh at them with unconditional love....

“Muddy water, let stand, becomes clear.” -- Lao Tzu In each body resides a self. But the self is many selves, as each emotional states is a unique self. The selves are like the grains of sand in a muddy pond, the mind. They preclude us from seeing what's within the pond and reflections without the pond. To see clearly within and without, the selves need to settle at pond's bottom. This allows the many selves to turn into one. This is the purpose of meditation....

“He who speaks does not know, he who knows does not speak.” -- Lao Tzu What is there to know? What is there to know! What is every thing before and after it is what it is whatever it is in the now. What is nothing and potentially every thing. He who speaks does not know the what; or speaking describes something, not what -- the undifferentiated essence of every thing. He who speaks describes things as discrete, having an independent existence. He who knows does not speak, for every thing is everything. He who speaks describes what he sees in foveal vision -- the 1% of peripheral vision that eyes focus upon at any moment. He who knows knows the universe is peripheral. He does not speak, as the peripheral is one continuous thing beyond description. He who speaks is in the now. Yet, he does not know the now, as a hand cannot grasp itself. He who knows the now observes it from outside the now. He does not speak, for speaking will put him in the now. He who speaks does not know he creates the illusion of time-passing from the sound of one word to the next. He who knows the universe is timeless does not speak, for speaking creates the illusion of time. He who speaks does not know the now he describes is now no longer. He who knows does not speak as what's no longer is an illusion. He who speaks is the self. The self does not know the oneness of ultimate reality (the soul), for the self's identity is its separation from ultimate reality. He who knows is the soul. He does not speak, for only the self can speak. He who speaks thinks effects come from affects; that things can be explained. He who knows does not speak, for he knows the universe is spontaneously manifesting. A speaker's words are like the precise space inside a square. The now is like the imprecise space inside a circle. He who knows does not speak, for a circle cannot be squared. He who speaks is an actor in the play of life. He who knows is the audience. The actors speak of matters they take seriously. The audience knows it's a play, not to be taken seriously. The audience does not speak, for they are forever laughing. The play is a divine joke that he who speaks thinks can be explained. He who knows does not speak, as a joke that needs to be explained is not funny....

The etymology of "universe" is "turned into one." The universe is not an infinite number of independent things. It is all things turned into one. As all things are one thing, things can only be described with a "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....
