We're not the biological system that we see in the mirror We're an Energy-Wisdom-Consciousness system.
Consciousness is the fundamental verity. Thought is a function of Consciousness. Energy is the product of Thought. And, finally, Matter is the crystallization of Energy.
We have to come out of our verbal-level activity, our mind-level activity, and our intellect-level activity, into pure consciousness that is meditation.
We are not exactly these physical bodies, we are actually beautiful, eternal specks of consciousness.
Meditation means losing our body-consciousness, to a smaller or greater extent. Meditation means losing our mind/intellect-consciousness totally. Meditation means dwelling totally in our soul consciousness... which is the purity of original consciousness itself.
When we are with the breath-energy, the mind becomes rather empty. Then, there is a tremendous in-flow of cosmic energy into the physical body. Gradually, the hitherto dormant third-eye begins to become activated. And, by and by, cosmic consciousness gets to be experienced.
Death means the death of a particular experience in a particular physical system. The Energy-Knowledge-Consciousness Entity which got itself integrated with a physical system, thus far, gets separated and goes on its own grand onward journey into various other frequency universes.
God is not a person. God is the fundamental substratum-consciousness. We are all gods. Everything is God. We only have to realise this and evolve.
