Existence

The word Existence means being, to exist. It is the experience of life and the experience of being. When a person makes contact with their inner world, they begin to seek answers to vital existential questions: Who am I? Where did I come from and where am I going? What is life?

These existential questions lead to reflection, and then to a quest. Inside, something stretches like a string, leading to a hypersensitivity of perception and reaction. The nervous system becomes like a high-precision instrument, reacting to everything it interacts with. Within, there is a certain sense of existential pain. And this pain is like a blessing that opens the door to reality. By entering there, we can truly gain the experience of our own existence.

What is usually perceived as life is merely images on the screen of consciousness, like in a cinema. Images and decorations replace one another, creating the illusion of flow and a sense of reality. The viewer thinks that real life is there—before their eyes. But what is before the eyes is only a play of light and shadow, while the light itself is behind. The source of light is located behind the viewer.

To experience real life, and not just its reflection, one must enter the Source and become the Light. Only there are all the answers to our questions. For the one who has entered the Light, birth and death are also nothing more than decorations on the screen of Consciousness.
