Layers & Levels Chapter Eight: Body Speech and Mind

Flowers in their flowering communicate the lovely enlightened language of Flowering Being

With manifold qualities of form, texture, colour, temperature, scent, beauty, sensitivity.

As with flowers so with all, from microscopic universes to macrocosmic spiralling galaxies…

Layers & Levels Introduction Part Three

Reality is more like a dream world conjured by a combination of one overall Being or Consciousness field within which unlimited particular living points of view including yourself, myself, the birds, the bees, the flowers and the trees and so on ad infinitum, each of whose perceptions constitute a unique dimension of ‘reality’, something I like to call our ‘Experiential Continuum’.

Layers & Levels Chapter Three: Introducing the Six Realms of Samsaric Existence

“As we go along from moment to moment, day to day, life to life, awareness and our thoughts keep shaping the life we lead. Cumulatively, the effect is tremendous. We can create for ourselves a tunnel lined with rags and deprivation or an open world of wealth and genuine communication – dark worlds, bright worlds, moderate worlds – so many different worlds can be created based on karma 1 we keep creating through our thoughts and projections.” 2

It’s not that the latter is unhelpful or wrong, it’s just that it is a fairly narrow spectrum of what can be used to effect thorough diagnosis; it is incomplete, overly narrow.
