The answer is dreams. Dreaming on and on. Entering the world of dreams and never coming out. Living in dreams for the rest of time.

Dreams come from the past, not from the future. Dreams shouldn’t control you, you should control them
Body cells replace themselves every month. Even at this very moment. Most everything you think you know about me is nothing more than memories.
Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn’t something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn’t get in, and walk through it, step by step. There’s no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones.

All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.
We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
External nature is only internal nature writ large.
All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.

Concise Epitome: 1.4 Fully conscious of the despondent nature of our venture, with the unfolding of those events which generated the perception of this universe of space and time where we, on an endless search, appear to take the helm. (Pienamente consapevoli della vana natura di tale impresa, procediamo indi a rievocare quegli accadimenti che convogliarono la percezione di codesta collocazionspazio-temporale così come si evidenzia all’ordinario e umano prospetto visivo.)
