“[T]here is a universal flux that cannot be defined explicitly but which can be known only implicitly, as indicated by the explicitly definable forms and shapes, some stable and some unstable, that can be abstracted from the universal flux. In this flow, mind and matter are not separate substances. Rather, they are different aspects of our whole and unbroken movement.”

“With our limited senses and consciousness, we only glimpse a small portion of reality. Furthermore, everything in the universe is in a state of constant flux. Simple words and thoughts cannot capture this flux or complexity. The only solution for an enlightened person is to let the mind absorb itself in what it experiences, without having to form a judgment on what it all means. The mind must be able to feel doubt and uncertainty for as long as possible. As it remains in this state and probes deeply into the mysteries of the universe, ideas will come that are more dimensional and real than if we had jumped to conclusions and formed judgments early on.”

“in the universal womb that is boundless spaceall forms of matter and energy occuras flux of the four elements,but all are empty forms, absent in reality:all phenomena, arising in pure mind, are like that.just as dream is a part of sleep,unreal in its arising,so all and everything is pure mind,never separated from it,and without substance or attribute.experience is neither mind nor anything but mind;it is a vivid display of emptiness, like magical illusion,in the very moment inconceivable and unutterable.all experience arising in the mind,at its inception, know it as emptiness!”
