So imagine matter: made up of atoms, made up of subatomic particles. All swirling and vibrating infinitely and forever. The same raw components combine to form everything. Like this:

A tree is a tree. Until it’s chopped down. Then it’s wood. Then later, it’s a chair. Then later, it’s broken and tossed aside. Then it’s garbage and then dirt, which is tree food.

Infinitely swirling.

Vibrating in infinity.

So what that means is, matter is temporary. It’s there, but it is not truly solid. It’s forever changing, even if you can’t tell. It’s not “real”.

The only permanence is the shared soul. The thing a lot of people call God. The universal consciousness. And it is obscured by a curtain of illusion. The illusion of the permanence of matter.

So here’s the trick: see through the curtain. Try it.

There is no new matter, no new energy. The matter that is your body has always existed. You know, the whole “we’re all made up of stardust” thing. So what makes “you” you, if it’s not your body?

You are a single, unique moment in nonexistent time. You are a collection of patterns that came together in this space. You are a tuned-in force being pulled into a temporary vehicle. And it’s beautiful and perfect.

We’re all just floating here together in infinite space and endless time. Floating in our spaceships.

You have to choose how you want to spend this time in this body on this Earth. It’s your call.
