2. The Power of the Sacred Word

One Existence

In reality there is one life and there is one existence. What we call this world or that world is for our convenience. It is our speculation, it is our way of distinguishing between the different dimensions. What is a dimension in reality? A dimension is rather a conception. There is only existence. It is just the same with time. There is no such thing as time; it is we who have a certain conception of it. But there is only existence, there is an eternal continuity of life. In the same way "this world and that world" is only our conception of all that hides the other world from our material physical eyes with which we have always been accustomed to look at life.

There is one existence, there is one life, eternal, everlasting. In short, if by the wireless words can be transferred from one place to another, this gives us the proof that, if there is one existence and one life, then in this world or in that world, here or in the hereafter, communication is possible for us - possible only if man has tuned himself, has wound himself, as it were, to that condition where he lives fully.
