I have crossed the fires of hell and returned. I have gained knowledge of the Void, from which all worlds physical and interdimensional are equidistant. Being nothing, a place of no-space no-time, it is a place of infinite possibility. There exist hellworlds that would shatter the minds of weaker beings, and heavenworlds that could fulfill any desire. The Void is that which existed at the beginning, it is the Matrix of life, from it raw matter is created. What the Tibetans call Bardo is not the Void, but is itself a product of it. There is the Void and there is the One. From these two have come all other things. However, all worlds that exist are the product of mind. All are illusion including the physical worlds like the ball of crud humans live on called Earth.

You've hit the nail on the head, my friend. We ARE Truth. It is the single most obvious thing which we must work diligently and continuously to hide through a never ending process of illusion creation and self deception. The miracle is not that some come to Truth Realization, but that most can successfully hide from it.
The Realization of Truth is the death of the individual ego identity. This is by far mankind's greatest fear. The price of freedom is everything that you believe yourself to be. It demands courage that no human can muster, and so it is your Divine Self that must finally reach out to you and pull itself from it's own delusion. This is sometimes referred to as grace.

Khm, I wouldn't go to such lengths on purpose ... but life has a way of putting these situations in front of me rgardless of what I want. And then, the truth often reveals itself under the most unexpected circumstances.
But would I *willingly* cross the fires of hell?
Hell, no!

Whatever I have to......and I have already crossed the fires of hell anyway.....what's some more burns? There's light in fire too. Bring it on!
That being said.....Single Eye said it best. I am not as eloquent as some others on here, but he is right....even the desire to "know" does not come from "us".

Peace & Love to You dear friend.

only to know what is needed...
i would cross the fires if the One needs me too.
i would not break all precepts...it is not proper.
the truth of life is revealed in part...it is a process...which is also revealed.

This may sound strange but even the desire to know does not come from us. I was as apathetic as the next person until an unquenchable desire to know hit me. It was almost irresistable. It took about three months to find it. Much of that time I was not sure what I was looking for, but I knew when I found it that it was the real deal.

Die unto myself (lose, dissolve, deconstruct, unpeel, rip away the false self of ego), if by "know" you mean recognize the Truth that is veiled at this level of existence. I am Sirius

To those who want to wait til the body dies....Then it WILL be too late. For the body must utter the existence of God....The spirit hasno way to express. Thats why those that commit suicide cannot go to heaven, They can't ask God for forgiveness They are Dead. Muslims beware. The one unforgivable sin. SUICIDE.
