What is, is what is; the only other thing is nothing.
Be dissuaded from using language and perspective that conforms to the hierarchical paradigm.
You are not on a journey to go from somewhere lesser to somewhere greater. Reality exists on a horizontal plane, not a vertical one. All parts of creation are equally valid and relevant.
There is no fantasy OTHER place. This is the place.
You`re not reaching outward, through empty space, you are pressing inward, within denser space. There is no other anything to know. There is only becoming more familiar and intimate with what is.
By introducing a system of valuation upon the many wonders of creation, we have denied ourselves access to the very fruits of that creation. Otherizing serves only the ego, and is causing a catastrophic schism in the human psyche that breaches civilization and upends the most fundamental root of our existence; the commonality in us all.
