Hi.  I am

Have you ever thought about how weird it is that something just ... is?

Have you ever felt the experience that nothing is separate and everything is one eternal conception?

Have you ever thought about how their being a separate creator and creation is false polytheism because being itself is radical unity?

Isn't weird to experience the reality that is you subjectively as you create it and it creates you?

Who is you anyways when their is just the one being I am?

Ok so that now that we got the minor questions out of the way lets ask...

What are the implications of the unity of being and how can I create a better being?

This website is dedicated to a collection of quotes that explore this question of who I am
