Profound, Andre. Here's another one I like: "Simple people conceive that we are to see God as if He stood on that side and we on this. It is not so; God and I are one in the act of my perceiving Him." -- Eckhart And this: "If you run away from the Void, you can never be free from it; if you search for the Void, you can never reach it." -- Niu-tou Fa-yung And finally: "The external world and consciousness are one and the same thing." -- .
