Two Seconds of Eternity Quotes

“Purpose, like time, only exists when observed.”

“(On Words & Awareness) Words are invisible carriers of consciousness. They give form to the formless, shaping thoughts into something we can hold. Without words, there is no bridge to awareness.”

“(On purpose & nature) We are part of nature, but what role do we play in Earth’s cycles? Unlike other living beings, we carry individual consciousness: we watch, we question, we create. We are the creator species. After this experience, I see things differently: we are the eyes through which creation witnesses itself. Life, in all its wonder and growth, wanted to witness its own unfolding—and so we were born.”

“(On perspective and mortality) I realized: I have forever after to know what comes next. Let us say I have death in the bag already—we all do, it’s our absolute and only guarantee.

“(On imagination vs. reality) Our waking minds can only draw from what we’ve already seen. We splice and rearrange, but it’s always something familiar. But what I experienced took everything away from me—yet I was still conscious. It was extremely liberating, to exist without the familiar markers that define the world of form.”

“On belief and loss: “Believing something makes it real for you. And strong belief, not just religious, offers a kind of companionship. It becomes an energetic, invisible ecosystem—something that lives with you, filters your reality, and eventually takes on a life of its own.”
― Alyssa Skyes, Two Seconds of Eternity: An Experience in Another Dimension

“Love is the strongest force we can nurture. We are born from it, and we shall return to it.
No matter where we come from, love is the one thing we can all hold close, even in the face of life’s hardest trials. Even when justice, abundance, or peace seem absent, love endures.
