Matter does not exist.

For those of us educated in the typical "western" view of reality, "Nonsense!" is the cry shreiked overwhelmingly in response to this seemingly nonsensical statement. The only problem with this reaction is that the statement is true... (at least to an extent.) Matter, it seems, put simply, is a by-product of the mind, not the other way around. Nonsense, it seems, is only such in regards to a limited point of view.

The authors and editors of this website all do their best to live by as limitless a point of view as possible. Our one point of philisophical basis is this: this universe of ours is love and that is all. We need no other doctrines or ideologies, for this one truth is self-evident in all of our hearts,emotions,thoughts,and minds.

So what does this have to do with matter(or the lack thereof?) Everything. In the typical viewpoint of secular, mass society, artificial lines are adhered to like gods. Lines between nations, lines between cultures, races, and religions, lines between you and me. When approaching this from the basic viewpoints of both spirituality and science, especially the fields of physics and ecology, we realize that all is insepeparable and that matter is only a perception of somewhat stable patterns of energy, and the physical boundaries that we percieve as seperating us begin to fade and blur. When this happens, the differences that once seemed so vast now become trivial.

Without clear boundaries, we all become different facets of the same whole. Without a seperate creator, disconnected in conscience and in being from "his" creation, we all become deities. Without a beginning, we all live forever, for that which was never born can never die.
