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.
Michael C says
Passed unity is singularity, ergo Existence is One.
