    THE APHORISM OF THE MANIFOLD   
      
      
      
   There is but one formless, non-material substance. some of it blazes with   
   fire, some of it is quiet with silent images and darkness. There is only this   
   and THEIR MINDS,   
      
   and IMAGINAL FORMS. The IMAGINAL FORMS constitute an infinite plethora of   
   gods, worlds, universes, realms, entities, but these are only illusory;   
   infinite self and   
      
   other defining aspects wrought by THE MINDS and non-material substance and   
   outside of these NOTHING EXISTS at all.   
      
      
   There are densities of substance that produce materiality. There is only this   
   substance. The MINDS OF BEINGS in turn transform this substance into symbols   
   with names   
      
   and objects. A cup is only dried mud with pigment for paint. It is only the   
   MINDS OF BEINGS that endow this object with a symbol of concave aspect, and   
   with its name:   
      
   called 'cup'. Only they define its function to drink out of. In this way the   
   symbol becomes reality, as it does in higher worlds, and it being just dried   
   mud and   
      
   pigment is either ignored or it is irrelevant. In the upper worlds,   
   non-material substance and MIND is all that is really there. But IMAGINATION   
   makes an infinite   
      
   number: different things, worlds, and realities out of this substance, and the   
   fact that it is only Non-material substance and MIND is either ignored, or is   
   irrelevant.   
      
      
   Nothing is real, thus no-thing is real, yet Nothing has a co-eval   
   substantiality called illusion, an efflorescence of seeming Light on the face   
   of Oblivion....   
      
   Nothing is unreal, thus no-thing is unreal, yet Illusion has a co-eval   
   substantiality called Nothingness, an efflorescence of seeming Light on the   
   face of the   
      
   manifold...   
      
      
   There is only the PRESENT: Past and the Future is an Illusion.  All things   
   exist in the Present and experienced in the Present. Past and Future are just   
   categories   
      
   to make sense of experience, in themselves they do not really exist. Making   
   the PRESENT into time is impossible, because it slips away immediately.   
      
      
   There is only one FATAL WILL that runs through all things, and constitutes the   
   inevitable working out of the permutations of infinite illusion.   
      
   Only THEY understand it, but who THEY are is unknown. But I call them MOI:   
   "The Masters Of Illusion."   
      
      
      
   Through illusion, manipulation, and limitedness we exist, yet we can neither   
   know how, nor why, we are deceived, manipulated, or confined/convoluted in any   
   given state.   
      
   Those looking for proof of this will never find it....   
      
   Nothingness and its Illusionary efflorescence cannot give it.   
      
   Yet somehow Nothingness can present everything, and everything can be   
   anything, and anything, can be everything, and everything can be nothing and   
   it can whirl   
      
   around tying the beginning and end into nowhere.   
      
      
   Forget my words, only meditation on this will have a chance to be relevant to   
   you.......
