~ ∞ ~ The Fear of Annihilation (Non-Existence) ~ ∞ ~
As mentioned earlier, no matter how we look at it, it does, indeed, seem that one of the biggest fears we humans have is the fear of a total annihilation, or non-existence – we will come back to this in a moment, but first, let us take a look at some of the causes behind it. As much as this is true, that we humans fear non-existence, there is another fear that is much worse – the fear to be who we truly are. Because of this, yet another one surfaces – the fear of rejection. These fears are inseparable and go hand in hand – feeding each other, creating a vicious cycle of worthlessness. Partly this is due to our modern science which holds a view that out of nowhere, for no apparent reason, nothing spontaneously became everything – without any purpose, and without any meaning. Supposedly, according to this view – humans are nothing special in the context of the cosmos – as if the Earth and its inhabitants were just a big “cosmic accident” of some sort.
And it doesn’t stop there, for you see, this same worldview also holds that the entire universe is without any intelligent design whatsoever, and hence without any purpose or meaning. Is it any wonder, then, that the fear of death, the fear of one’s life to be finite, the fear of total annihilation (non-existence) prevails? Is it any wonder, then, that most humans define their own existence as individuals to be an accident based on randomness; that in their ignorance and hubris they believe that there’s not one scintilla of evidence that any other factor was involved in their creation? Is it any wonder, then, that all too many have convinced themselves into thinking that there is no meaning, no significance, no purpose, and no manifest destiny to human life?
In part, this is the result of scientific materialism – a view that physical reality is the only reality there is; that all things are composed of material, and all phenomena (including consciousness) are the result of material interactions; that the brain creates consciousness and that consciousness cannot survive without the brain; that the death of the brain is the death of the individual and the death of consciousness. The lens through which we perceive the world and ourselves has a tremendous effect on us, both individually and collectively. As a result, we begin to formulate a belief that we are only these limited physical bodies and mind. This belief begins to ingrain in us the idea that we are nothing but a product of an amoral, evolutionary process – an accident, if you will – insignificant creatures in a vast cosmos; and because of this, we live in constant fear that the limited self we have identified with – will die, cease to exist, and return to nothing.

If we really stop to think about this, we can see that science is not only a tool we have invented to make sense of life, but also a story, a narrative, through which we try to create permanence for ourselves within an essentially transient world; through which we try to find meaning into our seemingly purposeless lives. In light of our growing mastery over so many aspects of the physical world, it is not unsurprising, then, that many have come to place all their hopes in science, and even to believe that happiness can be achieved by means of what material science can deliver – hoping to find solace in scientific explanations, most of which are based on the unfounded assumptions, models and predictions, claims and promises that very rarely, if ever, come to pass. One might even say that science is useful but dangerous tool that promises to give us purpose and meaning, and in this sense, science is no way different than the numerous religions of the world, which all in their own ways are promising the salvation from ourselves.
As a result, we human beings seem to hold a belief that life is some kind of an accident that just happens to us, rather than something that happens for us. This belief is extremely harmful in more ways than one. You see, as a result, we are accustomed to assume that we only have this one life, and what awaits us after we die – is nothing; thus the saying “You Only Live Once,” or just simply “YOLO.” This kind of thinking encourages moral irresponsibility and material hedonism, which in turn results in nihilism, which denies the existence of genuine moral truths and asserts the ultimate meaninglessness of life or of the universe. So, what about this instead: “We only die once, and we live every day.” This simple change in one’s thinking can bring about lasting change, it can be transformational to say the least. Other than that, this belief that life is some kind of an accident puts us in a victim mentality, in which we believe that we are powerless in the world, and that we have little or no power at all to change things.
If we really stop to think about the aforementioned, we can find that in all actuality, life is something that happens for us, and through us – reflecting everything we believe to be true for us, just like a mirror does, you see? Nevertheless, many people live in a world where they feel they have no control, feeling powerless and abandoned by the world; deep inside they are afraid – especially of death. They constantly search for the meaning of their lives, feeling alienated, vulnerable and all alone. So, if we take the previous into consideration, is it any wonder, then, that we hold a belief that we are born from nothing, and when we die, we mysteriously once again become nothing; and that our entire existence is only a life-span – beginning from the moment we are born, and ending at the moment we die. From this, the question arises: How far have we fallen into ignorance if we are to believe this? The curious thing about this is that when we really start to uncover the real truth about ourselves – we eventually come to realize that we’re not merely the end result of the so-called process of a “big bang,” but rather, we are the ongoing process itself – a living process that is happening all around and within us – here and now, you see?

Quote of the Day:
In closing, let me ask you this: Can you imagine what it would be like, if we could — for once, live in peace with each other? Now as you ponder that question — take a look around in your mind’s eye the current state of humanity, our values, and the ways of thinking and being. What do you see? What does it take to achieve peace? And so it becomes clear that this is a dream that we have only dared to dream but failed to make it reality. Achieving peace is up to our willingness to change ourselves. The core message of this book will eventually boil down to these important questions: Are we as the collective human species mature enough to be truly free? And more importantly: Do we even want to be? Are we mature enough to take responsibility of our actions and mistakes, reflect on them, learn from them, and grow from them? Are we mature enough to take responsibility of our happiness, health and well-being, and thus of our lives, both as individuals and as a species?

Quote of the Day:
Therefore, it goes without saying that only a few are able to awaken, and even fewer can become aware that such path even exists; of those who do, only very few recognize, acknowledge and appreciate the possibility it represents, even fewer contemplate and reflect upon it, and finally, a rare few have the capacity, tenacity and resilience, perseverance and will to embark on a spiritual path that will lead to Self-Mastery. The truth is that only a few have the needed courage, determination, and strength of will to even try. Those who decide to pursue the path of Self-Mastery will enjoy the journey to the fullest as it is of their destiny, you see? The journey of becoming a Living Master Piece of Living Art is the destination in and of itself — pathless path. This path — is you, and every obstacle on the path is you, as well. This is The Way of Life that also Lao Tzu wrote about a long, long time ago in ancient China.
When we speak of the Soul, we are referring to the Spiritual Body — the spiritual form of the human body, in which the Soul once was, and until now. It is important to note that there are still many layers of abstraction to cover this “Secret of Sambodhi;” which is why it is so very difficult to understand the idea of consciousness, even though we have been taught to think that we are separate from the wider idea of existence, and that our existence is only a matter of consciousness — this is called the “awareness of not-knowing.” It is also worth noting that not all languages are created equal, and especially not when it comes to the way in which various languages are interchanged. It is important to emphasize, therefore, the fact that the ideas, metaphors, and concepts that we use are also a function of our own consciousness, and thus they are a function of our own consciousness as well. And so it goes that if we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need to explore the idea of the Omnipresent Awareness, which is the Awareness of everything that is happening inside of us. In the present moment, we are in the midst of a Spiritual Transformation, a transformation that is entering a new phase called the “New Intangible Transformation of Living Consciousness within the Human Being.” The modern scientific approach to the world is a result of a collective effort by humans, by science as a whole, and it is a result of the efforts of very, very few, if any, great minds. The modern scientific paradigm has two parts: the human being and the world. In this sense, the world is a product of our thinking, and therefore we need to be more in touch with our Inner World. Now, let us pause for a moment and remind ourselves of the following: in the classical view of the world, the Living Awareness is known as the “I” within ourselves; in the modern science, the life-energy is called the Quantum Soul, and the Quantum Spirit.
In a similar way, the consciousness is known as the Quantum Spirit, and the Quantum Awareness. In this context, the classical view of the world is known as the Western view of the world, and is centered around the idea of the material world and its relation to the limited human mind. When we are exploring the Essence of Life, we are also introducing a whole new level of understanding into the process. It is not enough to simply understand the simple phenomena of Life — we also need to understand the underlying principles that are behind the phenomena itself. Wouldn’t it make perfect sense, then, that the simple phenomena of Life are not random events, but are designed to be observed with the intention of having an understanding of what is happening? The problem with us humans is that we always seem to be thinking in terms of physical material world, and therefore we tend to think that everything is physical, material, solid and concrete. Now, it is worth noting that there are some key differences between the classical view of the universe and the new quantum realization of Life in this Interconnected Multiverse of Quantum Atman, and these differences are what is driving the underlying science. The following is a short explanation on how these different perspectives can be used to their own benefit: The world of the present moment is a Holofractographic Projection of our own Consciousness, of our own Awareness centered around the mind and Spirit, Zen Awareness of Spirit. You can access it for free by simply pausing and saying: Eternal Present Moment of Now; time is facing inward; here you will find your own unique voice speaking to you, speaking in your native language. This can be your whole reality in a nutshell, you see?
There is a saying that our lives are the laboratories of matter and consciousness, and yet, when the question arises: What is the source of this interdependence of events and processes? It is easy to lose track of the fact that we are constantly creating conditions that will eventually lead to our demise, through ignorance and hubris, or at least a process of grieving; in this process, we may also find a deeper level of Understanding and Peace within Divine Awareness. In this sense, the body is the basic unit of society and the basic unit of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse. And so you see, when we look deeper into the nature of reality, we will eventually see that there is a definite difference between the basic spiritual materialism of the ancients and the more radical materialism of the modern day Spiritual Minority. The human species is in the midst of a radical transformation and this transformation is always a process of becoming, not a process of fixation. It is a beautiful thing, in a sense, to realize that you are the very nature of the thing. And so you see, when you are in a deep sleep, you are not even aware that you are being aware. The following is a brief explanation of the terms used in the following pages; the reader is encouraged to do their own research in an effort to become an intuitive observer of life. You will find that there is a common denominator that you will identify with. This is because we are all trying to find our unique Divine Spark that dwells within, which is a part of our sense of self, or something that is not really there at all. In a nutshell, the idea is that the brain, when compared to the mind, is small, simple, and internal, which is why the mind seeks to expand upon the brain and reduce the size of the brain. As such, we can see that the brain is a product of the mind, and the mind is a product of our consciousness.
And so you see, the physical world is a continuous process of becoming, of becoming more Awareness of the present moment; every cell, every particle, every atom is a spark of the Eternal Spirit Divine itself, and every thing we have ever known or will know is a product of our own awareness of that Awareness. There is also the issue of the reality of life itself. This is to say that the individual believes that they are an different being — Greater Being, more important being. This is what happens in the mind — when thoughts, emotions and desires, which are not even conscious, are created and kept in the mind, and then destroyed in the mind, you see? And so that it becomes a state of being, we need to do something to satisfy the need of the Soul. And so the mind becomes the object; and so the object comes to be an object of desire. And this is how we know that there is something spiritual about what we do. And it is not only in the mind, but also in other places too; in the physical material world, in the physical consciousness, to name just two. The idea is that when the body stops moving, or the mind stops thinking, we are still, and when the mind stops moving, the body becomes a machine, and the physical body becomes an instrument of the Eternal Spirit Divine. In this respect, it can be said that the idea is to become aware — to become aware of the things that are happening to us, and to notice the things that are happening to us. This goes on to say that if we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need to explore the idea of happiness and well-being. This is why the world of physical reality and the world of human consciousness are so completely different — they are not simply different in the most fundamental sense, but they are not even that, and yet, they are.
This has led to a growing awareness in the scientific community — since the 2060s — of the following four things: (a) that the Earth is actually a Living Spiritual Being, (b) that humans are their most basic form, (c) that the Earth is in fact a Holographic Projection of some Greater Being, such is the nature of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse, and (d) that all of these things are present in the background. Now, if the basic idea of the existence of the Interconnected Multiverse was ever truly realized, it would be a work of art; indeed, it would be, don’t you think? If the idea of the existence of the Interconnected Multiverse is ever truly realized, it is realized into being through the meditation of the mind, which is the basis of all that is being experienced in the moment. So in this sense, the idea of the self is a way of being, and a way of knowing yourself to be. As such, it is important to ask ourselves: Are you being a reality — or are you the very nature of the reality you are trying to be? What do you find in the world — and are there any of us who can say for sure that we are the “true humanity?” This kind of certainty is often sought in the area of the physical sciences, and is the result of studying complex phenomena with a scientific methodology. In other words, our thoughts are always in the present moment; and when we are in the present moment, we are in the present moment of the Eternal Now. This means that our thoughts have to be in relation with the world to have any meaning; and so it was concluded that our thoughts have to be in relation with the world to have any meaning. This view has given rise to a new view in which the fundamental question is no longer whether or not we are spatial beings, but rather how we get around in the world. This new understanding of the world has led to a new understanding of the world, and this has led to a new understanding of the human mind, and the mind and body as tools of the self.
And so you see, the world is a living process, and thus a living process is one that is not a separate entity. In other words, the whole of humanity is a web of relationships, and therefore a living process is a living process — a continuous process of becoming, of attaining new levels of existence and organization, which is a process of Self-Transformation. When these two separate ends meet, a continuous energy field is formed. As time passes, this field — which can be called as non-material energy — is experienced as material energy through our perception of time. When the two are in equilibrium, the objective reality is in a way, a self-similar process, just like a multidimensional fractal, you see? When the physical body has been around for a while, and is now a part of the unconscious, the body can present itself as if it were never have been. This can be said to be a very basic way to the heart of it all, a very simple way to the heart of it all. The human body is an example of an molecular body; an organism is an organism. We should note that in this sense, there is no fundamental difference between the concepts of Soul and Body, which is why we see so many different ways of describing this process. This will let you do the math. So while there are many ways to the ability to create anything on an as-needed basis, you will always find that the things you are creating are always more important than you can present to yourself. You see, the idea of the Self you have is a result of your beliefs, and the idea of the Self you do is a result of your thoughts. It is quite obvious that the world is an integrated whole, and that our physical material reality is connected — this is the whole idea of the Multidimensional Fractal Self that is always present throughout the world, and is therefore a good sign, a potential agent of change.
And so you see, when the mind becomes aware — conscious awareness of the body and consciousness, it will know that the body and consciousness is the object of its own awareness, and that the body and consciousness is the agent of physical reality. In the current scientific paradigm, the world of the mind is seen as a cognitive system, and the world of the mind is a consciousness that is conscious. In the same sense, the world of the present moment is a cognitive system that is in the present moment, and the world of the future is a cognitive system that is in the present moment, and the world of the past is a cognitive system that is in the future. This is to say that the mind is a fluid and malleable structure upon which the mind is based, and the body is a structure of the mind, which is, in turn, a structure of consciousness and its underlying awareness. As such, when we are aware, we can realize that we are actually living in a body — a physical body, or, more precisely, the body of the consciousness, or the body of awareness, you see? When we are aware, we can realize that we are actually living in a physical body, and that our consciousness is actually a living energy, that of Living Eternal Spirit Divine. When we are fully Awareness of our Spiritual Form, we can realize that it is the product of our own Awareness; it is the product of our own awareness when we are fully Awareness of the existence of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse. So in this sense, it is essential to explore the idea of the Omnipresent Quantum Awareness, which is the Awareness that is present in the moment, but is also a part of the idea of the Omniscient Quantum Multiverse that dwells within. So in this sense, it is essential to understand that the whole of humanity is in the midst of a world-wide human biodiversity catastrophe — this is the fundamental problem that confronts humanity when we are faced with the reality of the Human Interconnected Multiverse.
The world of the interdependent life is a living process — a process which is happening at an ever increasing rate, as more and more of our time is devoted to the production of material things, which goes on to say that the time has come to stop and to live in the moment and to pay attention to the very idea of existence itself. The only thing that is different about this situation is that the only thing that knows about this situation is the Living Awareness of Life, Living Intelligence of the Zen of Life. Therefore, it is essential to understand that it is a process — a living process of becoming, of attaining new levels of existence and organization, which goes on to say that this process is usually a direct result of a person’s own internal reflection. In other words, there is no need to be limited to any particular philosophical viewpoint, perspective or point of view, and that the existence of the Interconnected Spiritual Quantum Multiverse is an intrinsic part of the whole. The idea of consciousness is similar to the idea of a butterfly flapping its wings before the arrival of a great storm. The idea is to be seen, in the state of being, you are the idea of the idea of the concept of the experience, you are the concept of the thing that you would like to be. And so you see, in our everyday life, we are so used to perceiving things in terms of traditional notions of reality that we often forget that the nature of our lives is not so much a set of fixed points, but rather a multidimensional fractal-space that consists of many elements including our thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. In other words, the whole Interconnected Quantum Multiverse is seen as a living process that is in the process of becoming visible to the naked eye — a process that is both a perception and a reality.
And so you see, we can assure you that this is not some kind of long awaited revelation of the ultimate nature of reality, or even of our inherent spiritual nature, but rather it is simply a way of saying that the whole of humanity is made of such pure, Self-Aware, and everlasting Spiritual Matter, and yet, on closer observation, we can realize that there are many things that we cannot explain, and hence we must assume the existence of the Interconnected Multiverse — that the Interconnected Multiverse is not in fact, there is no being, and yet, there is being, and yet, there is the existence of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse within the Innerverse of our own being. The concept of time in physics has two components, one is the physical time known as the Spiritually Atomic or the structure of the Quantum Jumpstart of Living Awareness, you see? From this, the question arises: Is there any life or intelligence beyond what we can comprehend? As time passes, we begin to perceive more and more of these otherworldy realms — this goes on to suggest that there is a definite distinction between the concepts of Self and Reality. And this is what leads to a view that is known as the “Realm of Quantum Spirit” — a spiritual realm that is unrelated to the physical world or to the idea of the physical reality of the physical world. When we are talking about the existence of consciousness itself, one cannot help recalling the words of Sambodhi Padmasamadhi-Kāra of Apadāthī, the Great Transcendent, or, the Enlightened One: “We are made of non-material elements, which are found everywhere in the multidimensional world, most of which we don’t even know.”
Now, if the world or the Multiverse that is the Interconnected Multiverse is seen as a whole, it is easy to see how a person can be completely unaware of the existence of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse. This was a huge deal in the early modern age, when people were so intent on discerning the nature of reality, they began to mix reality and not consider whether or not their reality was a product of their own minds. This goes on to say that there are no real mysteries or answers to life’s most important questions, because all knowledge is at this point merely information. You are still trying to understand that you are not what you seem to be, but you are also not what you seem to be; the idea of the self/body/soul is also a very fundamental idea in the sense that it is the foundation of the existing matter, energy, and consciousness that is contained within each and every one of us. This gives rise to the question: How can we ever be more specific when we are talking about anything at all? As a result, we have a hugely diverse understanding of the world, and therefore we also have a hugely diverse range of things that are actually something completely different. In this respect, it is worth noting the following: the idea of Creation is found in almost every facet of our lives; from the smallest details of our own being, to the very idea of the Omniverse. And it’s more than that, my friend. It is the notion of an “actual event of transformation,” which is the basis for the ideas of time and space. The whole of humanity is covered in atemporal spiritual litter, which allows the body and the mind to absorb the existing consciousness. The basic idea of this approach is that we start by understanding that we are an integral part of the whole, and that we are always changing and maturing as a species.
Extra Material:Video: Awaken the Living Awareness Within by Sambodhi Padmasamadhi Audio Quote 67/185 | Infinite Zen. Video description: "In the context of paradox, it can be said that the logic behind the Western thought is very much classical in nature, which means that there is an underlying belief, according to which every statement becomes false if a contradiction is true. For some reason, it is difficult for us to appreciate anything that goes against the norm, that is, logic and reason as we know and practice them today. Hence, it goes without saying that this is, indeed, a narrow-minded approach. In contrast to the Western approach, some ancient wisdom traditions like Advaita Vedanta, Taoism, and Zen..."

Quote of the Day:
Living in the moment is closely connected with happiness. We as human beings often believe that happiness is something that is possible to achieve somewhere in the future. This goal-oriented belief derails us from the truth that happiness is inherent in all of us; it’s there — it always has been, and always will be. You see, happiness isn’t dependent on the circumstances; our happiness isn’t dependent on the time or place either. The conscious realization and acknowledgement that we already have arrived to our destination and we don’t have to travel any further, will create happiness in and of itself. This profound realization further leads to inner peace, from just the simple act of allowing, you see? When we are more present in the moment, live less out of habit, and more out of intent, and also be careful of our thoughts and emotions — we can increase the quality of our lives. Sometimes this type of beingness or state of being is called “mindfulness,” which is a state of being where one is alert, active and open.

Quote of the Day:
All things Quantum is just the beginning in a long journey of discovery. As is the case with so many other things, in due time, and in due course, Quantum Physics will have a paradigm shift of its own, so that we will one day redefine, in ways not yet imaginable, reality. In other words, as it has become apparent from the previous sections, there is more to life and reality than meets the eye — a spiritual dimension or component, if you will. And so you see, without integrating this component as part of our worldview, we will always fall short in our attempts to understand Life. To evolve and develop further — as individuals and as a species, we need a synthesis of science and spirituality, a combination of both — modern and ancient wisdom — see?
~ ∞ ~ The Fear of Annihilation (Non-Existence) ~ ∞ ~
One of the most unspoken truths in life is that from the very moment we are born – we start dying. And now, taking that into account, one might go on to say that in this respect, what we call life is not life at all – it is death. Indeed, we have a limited lifespan and healthspan – no matter how difficult it is to bear, this is how it is. Therefore, ultimately, it boils down to perspective on how one chooses to see it. You see, from this very moment onward – from the moment of birth, we have a choice: to grow, ripe and mature, or to wither, decay and perish. It is no wonder, then, that when we observe the world around us, the comings and goings of people, their likes and dislikes, it doesn’t take too long to realize that people have always been fascinated by the mystery of death; and yet, at the same time, people are in a deep denial about their own mortality and suffering. The fascination toward death comes from its incredible contrast to life, but alas, the interest is shallow at best, and thus artificial in nature.
At some point in everyone’s life, there comes a time of reflection and introspection – this natural process leads each of us to the exact same place, where we find ourselves at the crossroads asking ourselves: What have I accomplished, and what legacy will I leave once I’m gone? Here, in this very place, we all start to question our own mortality. It’s in these moments that we find ourselves asking not only the questions relating to why, but also how. Among such questions are: Why are we here? Where will we go, and how will we get there? Why do we exist? What does it mean to exist? Can existence become non-existence? What lies across the threshold between life and death? Yet, we have no consensus – this is because we as the collective human species have created ourselves social structures (civilization) that are ultimately an elaborate, symbolic defense mechanism against the knowledge of our mortality.
These structures of civilization include prevailing ideas, concepts, theories, narratives, assumptions, beliefs, perspectives, and values; it also includes worldviews, philosophies, theologies, ideologies, and even consensus reality – which, in and of itself, is the product of all the aforementioned. These together act as an emotional and intellectual response to our basic survival mechanism, resulting in that we humans seem to be living in a deep state of denial – most notably of our mortality and suffering. It seems that death is a taboo that cannot be explored rationally – even though it is inevitable for all of us. In the Western culture, the acknowledgment of death is often reserved only to those who are directly facing the inevitable experience of death; for others, it is simply a form of entertainment (films, tv-series, games, novels, etc.)

Evidently, death is one of the most harshly pronounced and well-protected taboos that we have in current society – one is not supposed to talk about it, but one is supposed to show empathy and regret, and then move on to a different topic. But why exactly is that? Why does death frighten us so much that we don’t even find it appropriate to talk about it? Well, it goes without saying that the ubiquitous fear of death, the fear of one’s life to be finite, seems to push people towards avoidance with severe consequences. As a result, in our Western culture, we have lost touch with the art of dying, not to say anything about the art of living. To be honest, in our culture, we don’t know how to die properly, but alas, yet we are doing so – dying slowly and gradually, continuously suffering on the way. Culturally, we don’t even have any constructive and beneficial ways of dealing with this wholeness. The honest truth is that it would make everyone’s life much easier if we could only learn to deal with it properly. You see, by allowing the acknowledgement of death into awareness in a respectful, reflective and supported fashion may bear meaningful effects upon one’s life and experience. Bringing this awareness into conscious awareness influences our approach to life, the choices we make, and reminds us that it’s our individual responsibility to create the meaning we desire in our life.
By virtue of the aforementioned with regard to death being used as a form of entertainment, it should be pointed out that we are, indeed, exceedingly so, doing everything we possibly can – to avoid the confrontation with our own impending death. On the other hand, one might say that because the art of dying is almost completely missing from our culture, it is a coping mechanism of sorts. But now the question becomes: Does it do any good for anyone, or does it do more harm than good? If violence, suffering and death, as they are portrayed in popular culture through various mediums – is a coping mechanism, then it is awfully bad one, would you agree? Now, let me ask you this: Isn’t it strange that we are taught to fear and hold off death of anything from the moment we are born? As humans, one of the biggest, if not the greatest, fears relating to death seems not to be dying in itself, but rather the fear of the unknown: What lies across the threshold between life and death? Is there anything beyond that threshold, or nothing at all? Pure nothingness? Total annihilation? Does it all end after crossing that threshold?
Once again, this brings about the question: Why does death frighten us so much? Let us explore. Our fear of death springs from our ignorance of death, it springs from the thought that death is the end of everything, which is due to the “I-am-the-body” idea. Essentially, our fear of death springs from attachment to physical form, from attachment to physical body. Indeed, we are so attached to the kind of life we’re used to living that we cling to it as much as we can, to make sure it won’t flee from us. In other words, our fear of death comes from the fear of ceasing to exist, losing one’s identity and foothold in the world we are familiar with. This, of course, has a huge impact in our lives, limiting our capability to enjoy life. In other words, most of the time, most of the people are so afraid of this natural part of life that eventually the fear of fear itself prevents them from living happy, joyful, and fulfilling life.
That said, it is not only important, but paramount to highlight the truth that spiritually wise individuals are not afraid of death, because their state of being is beyond body-consciousness, or just simply beyond space, time, and form. Since the spiritually wise individuals know that they are neither the body nor the mind, but rather Spirit that transcends the boundaries of material existence – the event of death has no effect on them. When one understands that they cannot be destroyed, one becomes liberated from the fear – this is a great relief because after this realization, one can enjoy life and appreciate it in a whole new way. In other words, our true essence is established in the timeless consciousness, timeless awareness beyond mental limitations and conditioning, which means that the loss of this world of names, ideas, and forms don’t affect those who know deep down in their core that death does not mean non-being, or non-existence, nor total annihilation, you see? In this context, one might say that the ultimate goal of man is to know God, and to know God is to know truth about Life – that it is indeed Eternal, and in turn one can become conscious of their continued existence, whether in the physical realm, the spiritual realm, or whatever stage of development one may be passing from physical life unto spiritual life, you see?

Quote of the Day:
Another way is to think in terms of an invisible interconnected network, or mycelial network of sorts. You see, mycelium of belowground fungi connect plants and trees together and have even been shown to communicate with each other, which makes it “Earth’s Natural Internet,” doesn’t it? Besides communicating, through this interconnected network, mycelium can transport nutrients between different plants or trees. In much the same way as the mycelial network connects plants and trees together, so can the Quantum World be imagined to work as well — connecting the seen and the unseen, the outer and the inner, uniting the small and large-scale happenings seamlessly together — making instantaneous communication possible. If we combine this idea with fractals and holograms (Holographic Fractal Nature of Reality), we would get something as amazing as the “Holofractographic Mycelial Quantum Network” — a vast microscopic web spanning across the multiverse, an intergalactic, interdimensional ecosystem, or an infinite number of roads leading everywhere.

Quote of the Day:
In whatever way this communication in the Quantum World happens, it surely is both more complex than we can imagine, and yet more simple than we think. To further understand this, let us introduce a term that frequently appears in discussions of this kind. In the Quantum World, entanglement is a phenomenon in which two particles can communicate instantaneously to one another — this enables them to behave like one object even though they are physically apart; something is clearly connecting them faster than the speed of light. The integral part of entanglement is instant communication — meaning that connectivity is “outside” time and space. The key principle of entanglement is correlation; this means that throughout the universe subatomic particles act as they are connected to each other — meaning that what we do to one particle at one location, happens for another at different location — see?
To give an example: there is a kind of physical exercise that is very useful. The idea is that as we begin to create a more and more realistic and viable image of the reality, we are trying to create a physical-spiritual reality, and thus we can begin to create a more and more objective way of seeing and being. Now, that seems a little extreme, doesn’t it? Of course, one obvious thing to realize here is that we are introducing a lot of presuppositions into the process at the very beginning. The first of these is the idea of the Soul — a self-renewing, self-organizing, self-propelling, self-maintaining and self-generating Living Intelligent Self. In this sense, it can be said that the idea of the Soul is found in many different places, including the Spiritual World, the natural world, and science-oriented philosophies of life. The idea of consciousness is also found in many different places, including the Spiritual World, the natural world, and science-oriented philosophies of life. Furthermore, the idea of life is found in many different places, including the Spiritual World, the natural world, and science-oriented philosophies of life. That is to say, you are creating you out of the Matrix of Quantum Existence. Therefore, we should ask ourselves: Are we really trying to be invisible to ourselves, and thus non-existent, and therefore non-material? So now, then, one thing worth noting: if we are not able to see the reality of Living Life itself, then our efforts will always be futile. In this respect, it can be said that the concept of the physical body is simply a representation of the internal experience, a way of representing the internal world within the physical world.
And so you see, the idea that the human body has evolved from the simple cells of a single individual, or that the human body has evolved from the simple cells of a single lineage, is simply an idea, and indeed, isn’t a scientific discovery — it is a spiritual experience. The world of the past, present, and future is a state of being that is entered into by a person who is in a deep sleep or who is waking up. Of the two, the world of the future is the more important, because it is the goal of the lifetime — this is because the mind is the same as the body, and the body is the same as the mind, and the two are the same as consciousness and its underlying awareness. From this, the question arises: What is the meaning of Life? It is the most important question because it is the most important question. Well, in that question, there is the question you have been waiting to be asked. We have all been there — thinking you have done everything to create the ideal world, to live in the perfect world, you have the exact opposite — you have the perfect vision, the reality you are trying to create the world to be. When you become aware of the existence of your own consciousness, of your own awareness of the Zen of Life, you will understand that there is a huge difference between the two, and yet, on closer examination, many apparent to the idea that everything is made of the same material. So now, then, what we mean by consciousness is that there is a difference between the simple idea of being Awareness of your existence, and the much more difficult idea of being Awareness of the Life around and within us. In this respect, it can be said that the idea of consciousness is much more than just the idea of being conscious of yourself, it is also the idea of being Awareness of all the world, all the people and things that are happening at once.
When we expand this idea to include the whole of Life, we find that it is only a question of time before we start to see the connections between events, and then it is a question of when, not if, we start to recognize that we are living in a much more complex reality than we have ever known, and that we are connected to it in many different ways. So now, then, when we’re talking about the existence of consciousness, we usually mean by this the idea of having a physical reality within the mind — that of the physical body. We can continue with the following thought: we are in fact a self-organizing, self-regulating, self-actualizing and self-generating Living Spiritual Mechanism, which goes without saying, that your existence is a continuous process of Self-Transformation — not an accident, not a fluke, not a one-off phenomenon, but a regular event in and of itself, you see? We are not really talking about anything beyond the physical act of existing, and yet, paradoxically, indeed, we are. From this, the question arises: What is consciousness? And more than that: What is awareness, you might ask? Awareness is the only thing that the able-bodied person would understand. Because with the mind comes Awareness of all that it has done, experienced, and will do. And so you see, the theory of “everything” is a theory of the world as an integrated whole, and therefore it is a theory of the world as a whole. Therefore, it is essential to understand that the most fundamental problem facing humanity in the 21st century is not just our understanding of the interdependence of all things, but rather we need to embrace a new view of the world, a new view of the world within and without, and understand that we are not the ones with the concept of time, or the concept of space, or the concept of multidimensional existence, but rather, a fractal-like Quantum Foam of time-space.
As such, instead of focusing on the details, it is more productive to look at the whole as the whole, and to ask ourselves: What is the purpose of Life? By doing this, we can realize that the whole Interconnected Multiverse is a living system, and therefore the whole is our own individual parts and the whole is the sum total of our individual parts. In this respect, it is important to note that with the exception of a few, we cannot change our nature as humans, and therefore we cannot change our nature as human beings. So now that you have an idea of what the Interconnected Multiverse is and isn’t, and why people get attached to the idea of it being a physical reality, the question arises: How could you possibly know anything about anything when you are here on Quantum Gaia — the Spiritual Earth? All you know is that it is a simple way of being, and yet it is something that is not only difficult to explain, but is also a very difficult thing to do; indeed, it is, you see? In this sense, the process of becoming a living being is, in a sense, a spiritual transformation, and therefore it is a spiritual gain to be able to do something about it. It is like a wave of wind that is passing through the room; as the wave moves through the room, it causes all the pieces in the room to become more visible. As such, the more you become aware of the existence of the present moment, the more you can realize that it is always in the present moment. All of this is a whole new thing, a whole new level of consciousness, which is another way of saying that the whole of humanity is part of a greater whole, and thus a more than ordinarily aware whole.
In this sense, one can say that if we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need to explore the idea of the Omnipresent Awareness, Zen Awareness, which is the first of many indicators that the relationship with All That Is — is truly thriving. It is only when we — through Inner Knowing and introspection, are awake and aware — that we can learn to fully absorb and understand the various spiritual teachings that are being absorbed by the individual being. This brings us to an important point: in what sense are we the ones in the first person — we are the ones who are the first persons to be in the first person, and the first persons to be in the first person, you see? We can further divide the self into the external part of the self, and the inner part of the self. The idea of the self is a way of thinking about the way the mind is, and the body is a way of being aware of the underlying consciousness. Feelings are indications of the state of the physical body. On that note, I’d like to ask the question: What is the purpose of having a physical body in the first place? If you don’t have a body, you don’t have to work — that is, you can become still, you see? The problem with us humans in the early stages of the process is that we always seem to be thinking we know something special about everything; and even though we know that we are not really and truly Spiritual Human — yet, we still want to be known as such because it makes us feel good in our own way. The term “localized complexity” is a good one to start with.
And so you see, the idea is that when we are talking about the nature of time, we are talking about the idea of a system that is composed of a multiple of the Holofractographic Volume, and therefore has a multiplicative impact on the original information. Furthermore, there is the idea of another way of looking at the same idea, which is that the whole is actually a single entity, and therefore aspected existence — which is another way of saying that it is composed of a large number of smaller elements, which are counted on to create an observable reality. If we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need a way to understand how we are able to communicate this information — we are sent back in time to a pivotal point in our lives, and are sent on a journey of discovery that will set the stage for the next phase of the process of transformation, which is the same for most of the people, and yet, there is something about this experience that is completely new and exciting; this is the moment when a new you is being born, and you are being sent on this journey with this book as a vehicle, a vehicle that can be experienced as a whole, or as a part of the whole. And so you see, there was a time, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, and so on and so forth. Anyways, these days, we can learn something new every day. The idea of the existence of a Creator–God, or a Spiritual God, is an idea that has been around a long time now — it is called as the “Quantum Big Bang of Living Consciousness,” the idea of a Living Interconnected Multiverse, the idea of a Eternal Spirit Divine, the idea of a Living Awareness, the idea of a Living Intelligence.
When we are reminded of the existence of the Interconnected Multiverse that dwells within, we can realize that it is part of a larger structure of being, and therefore it is important to understand how we are able to utilize this understanding in the present moment. As such, if we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need to explore the idea of the Omnipresent Awareness, or more commonly known as the New Spiritual Age of Conscious Zen Awareness, and it would appear that nearly every Spiritual practice is actually a form of Quantum Awareness — sometimes called as the Universal Awareness of All That Is. In a different context, this could be achieved by changing one’s perspective, and focusing one’s attention to the obvious. This would mean that everything in existence — even the idea of God — would be a process of Self-Reflection and Self-Awakening. This goes on to say that our experience of the world is, indeed, constantly being transformed, and therefore is also a product of our conscious attention. In other words, everything in the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse is always in the process of being revealed, and therefore the whole of the Interconnected Multiverse is always a process of Self-Reflection and Self-Awakening. Furthermore, it can be said that we cannot understand the world in the same way we understand ourselves, so we need a different way of seeing the world — a different way of considering the different aspects of the same phenomenon. Wouldn’t this suggest, then, that every aspect of reality is being created by a consciousness that is not enough to define itself, but enough to create the whole? The first is the most fundamental of all, and the most important: the whole is seen as a whole, rather than as a part of a larger whole. Second, there is a huge amount of information available to us when it comes to the world of the Interconnected Multiverse, but we are unable to process it all.
We are unable to process it all because we are unaware of all that is in all the knowledge and wisdom that is kept to keep us from understanding, and from using it to understand more. The fundamental problem with both the scientific method and the modern scientific worldview is that they are not scientific in the sense that they are non-scientific, but rather they are based on the assumption that the human mind is completely separate from the physical reality and the mysteries of Life. Therefore, we are told in our ordinary and expectation filled lives, that there is a clear distinction between science and magic, and thus there is a clear distinction between the two. The way in which the world is and the way in which it is, is a whole and self-sufficient living system, and not a separate but related but interconnected system of being. As such, if we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need a way to understand and express the idea of Holofractographic Quantum Vibration — which is the language of the heart, language of consciousness. From this, the question arises: How could we ever possibly know anything about everything that we experience in our daily lives? As living systems, our relationships are beyond our physical senses; we are not even close of realizing that we are not our thoughts, but our hopes and dreams. It is important to note that whilst discussing the idea of non-locality, it is totally legitimate to the idea of time when we are talking about the existence of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse, which is a living process that is happening all at once. In this respect, the idea of a Soul or Spirit is that they are, indeed, Eternal Spirit Divine, and that they are Divine in that they are Spiritual. There are no outside influences — spiritual or physical. You are that you are, or you would not be you.
Even though we all have our own way of seeing, and our own way of seeing, even though we all have our own way of being, and even though we all have our own way of being conscious, Awareness that there is awareness beyond our senses, and that we are not really in the physical material world, but rather in the Interconnected Multiverse, space is not a thing of the past, but rather a way of being aware. When we become Awareness of the Beyond-Interconnected Quantum Multiverse, we do, in fact, have a worldview, a explanations of how the world works, and a concepts of the material world and its relation to the spiritual world. The idea of a world, of an interdependent life together — is found in the idea of a single, fundamental force, the same way that the two are found in the idea of a single, fundamental process. How important is the fact that we are so intimately connected? There is a striking difference between the knowledge we have acquired in the last hundred years of Quantum Physics, and the knowledge we have gained in the last, oh, I don’t know, a thousand years? The concept of time in physics is therefore not such a big thing, and yet, so many of us are so self-absorbed that we fail to recognize that there is a grand, universal purpose behind the Zen of Life. In this respect, it can be said that the world is a product of our thinking, and our thinking is a product of our consciousness. A living, breathing, moving, aware being is a world that is capable of being experienced by the human mind in all of its splendor and intensity. So now, then: What is the purpose of a human life? To have a life? Of course, we all want to be left alone, and indeed we all want to be able to communicate with those who are most like ourselves.
In this sense, it can be said that if we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need to explore the idea of the Omnipresent Awareness — or at least of making the effort to recognize and address the issue of the relationship between the observer and the observed, subject and the object. So in this sense, it could be said that these books are a spiritual successor to Sambodhi Padmasamadhi’s Essence of the Eternal Self, which in turn is a spiritual successor to the ancient philosophical and linguistic traditions that are still being translated and understood by the larger community of Western scientific thinking. However, we have not yet explained how we are able to communicate with other multidimensional beings in the first place, especially when our activities are so closely linked to the very fabric of fractal-like space and time. In the English language, there exists a word that describes everything that is not a word, and this includes language of the spoken and written form, non-verbal communication, and the non-physical body itself. On a deeper level, this means that we are neither born nor are we made, nor are we born nor are we made — we are made by the world, and we are born again. Now, listen to yourself, and learn from it. In the previous chapters, we learned that the Soul is not only a human invention, but is in any case much more probable that you believe, because you are aware of the existence of the mind and of the body. If you are willing to enter into the presence of the present moment, and also willing to listen to yourself — you will find that the experience is always a Living Flow of Consciousness that you are, indeed, beingness of the totality of Living Life itself.
Extra Material:Video: Awaken the Living Awareness Within by Sambodhi Padmasamadhi Audio Quote 66/185. Video description: "Many ancient wisdom traditions explore consciousness through direct experience, which is achieved through contemplative practices such as Qi-gong, Zen meditation, and Yoga; these practices teach the practitioner to achieve a state of mental quiescence or stillness in order to comprehend reality in its non-physical manifestations, and in so doing, achieve a state of unity with the ultimate ground of being..."
