“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”
“If quantum mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked you, you haven’t understood it yet. Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.”
“The best slave is the one who thinks he is free.”
“If you want to know the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”
Unity. Everything is unified. Everything is One. Separation is the true illusion.
E=mc2. Most people have heard of this equation, but what does it really mean? Very simply, matter and energy are actually one and the same.
