immortality

Therefore, the final expression of each band, with regard to experience, is equivalent to the others.

So there is no hierarchy.

Matter and mind are equally important.

All bands are in balance and identically significant.

Pronouncedly vibrating levels, which constitute farther existential planes, are beyond our levels of desire.

Links between whichever plane we are and the next occur through the band of desire.

Immortality and the experience of material life in other planes mean desire for us now.

The sequence of bands might be considered similar to the image of layers of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.

The most vibrating limit of a layer exceeds the basis of the next layer.

Thus, the highest levels of energy are filtered by the basis of perception: radiations are invisible to us.

Regarding the more intense mental bands, the outcome is not noteworthy. Vibrations of desire filter some intuition and thought but this is almost irrelevant.

Organisms resemble each other and differ. But no organisms are alike or completely different.

Since we all here experience the same plane, and we are formed by the levels of the plane, poetically it might be said that all of us are the same flesh and the same mind.

From an extreme perspective, there are no differences. We all share the same existential limit and nothing beyond it can occur to us consciously.

Nobody among us knows consciously why we exist and why the Universe exists. Nobody knows consciously why and how there is existence.

All experiences are in fact mental.

For our convenience, we shall call physical the experiences turned in the direction of the material band and mental the ones turned in the direction of desire.

We shall identify an experience as memory o...

Perception, though affected by other bands, is assertively linear. A landscape will yield different meanings for each person but in the physical sense it is basically the same to all.

Feeling is more subjective.

If feelings are focused on an intense symbolic area, objects might yield remarkably different or even contrary emotional experiences. The same ideal may elicit fascination or aversion.

Transcendence is not a subject for science. It is a subject for metaphysics and poetry.

Matter, owing to its thoroughgoing determinism, is a field for scientific knowledge.

As we proceed along the bands, science lessens its possibility to comprehend reality.

Science is focused on matter.

Philosophy is focused on thought.

Mysticism is focused on intuition.

Art is focused on desire.

That is very schematic.
