I can assure you, as a practitioner of Buddhism, that there are ten thousand states of mind, at least, give or take a few billion.
Step into the mystery of the mind. There are billions of minds, there are billions of selves. There are billions of worlds and dimensions.
The human field of perception is not the only band of perception. Nor is it necessarily the best; there is no such thing in infinity. Infinity does not label.
There are worlds beyond anything you can imagine; there are joys beyond anything you have experienced. There are ecstasies that are undreamed of, I assure you.
What you have known of this life so far is only a dream, a slim dream at that. As one who has traveled greatly in the worlds, I can assure you there is much to see and much to become.
Move beyond the limited parameters that most human beings have and realize that there are thousands and millions of worlds beyond this world.
There are dimensions of power, there are dimensions of knowledge, and there are dimensions of confusion. The universe is a very, very big place. To think the universe is only composed of the physical universe is to be rather shortsighted.
There are billions of people on the earth and there are billions of earths, billions of universes. It is endless.
Beyond this world are countless dimensions. They stretch on forever. You can travel to them and have experiences in them.
There are many, many different worlds. Just as there are different continents on earth, there are different dimensional planes.
Everything that can be and everything that cannot be exists somewhere.
All the creations of God stretch out infinitely. All times, past, present and future for all beings, worlds unimagined
Words are worthless. How can you describe the other worlds?
So what you are accomplishing is entrenching yourself more and more in this world.
You are either in this world or the other worlds, and it all depends on how much you are in your own ego.
It's always better to be conservative in action. One must always consider the dangers in the world.
When you meditate and still your mind, you will gain the wisdom of knowing things in this world, in other worlds and beyond worlds - it just comes to you.
When there's no difference, there's no time, no world, no separativity - and there's no you ... nor is there an I.
The mantra is a very preliminary exercise for the student to begin to grasp a sense of focus. When they are used by persons who have reached very high levels of attention, they can open up doorways to other worlds.
Free yourself from happiness and unhappiness. Realize there is something beyond both and yet, revel in your time, revel in this world.
Tantric Zen is for the individual who is in love with both the finite and the infinite, who gets a kick out of this weird transitory world and at the same time, wants to step beyond it.
The world is filled with people who understand. I personally value people who don't understand. People who understand have nothing more to learn. People who don't understand have hope. Do you understand?
You come back to the beginning. That's why in the "Searching for the Ox" sequence, at the very end of that sequence of the Zen paintings, we're back in the world again.
Your tonal will enable you to deal with the world well, to do well in a career and interact with others.
Until your physical togetherness increases, your development in the inner worlds will not increase.
