We forget that we are superimpositions
on the screen of life. And we are really
the screen, which is Consciousness. We
believe through many incarnations that we
are the image, we are a person, and there
are others, and there are external things to
contend with in this world. But these things
are false. The images are like water in the
mirage. When you try to chase the water,
you become disappointed, you grab
sand. This universe, my friends,
is an optical illusion.
