    These quotes can also be applied to the diolations of ones eye while
    the mind determines distance rate and time of a holographical image
    If one has a contemplative size to the machine it has arrived from.

    Secrets are not secrets if you know. Robert frost wrote: We dance around the ring and suppose,
    the Secret sits in the middle and knows.

    Know and you are the secret that sits in the middle.

    Three words solves all secrets, three words above all knowledge,

    three words highest religion,

    three words within the unity of all things, there is no outer.

    Three words: Existence is One: Without this you will suffer in temporary Live, which
    is subject to Death and Birth Cycle. Know that Existence is One, You are immortal
    and exempt form Death and Birth Cycle. So with this you enter endless Life. There is nothing passed unity.
    You are an Inner, never an outer. Its simple, Speak and Be.

      Passed unity is singularity, ergo Existence is One.
