We walk upon the grace of god. Nothing else exists except that.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Death doesn't change anything. It just gives you a new location. The physical mind dissolves. But the overriding state of mind that you die in is the state of mind that you are born into.
Frederick Lenz
Image
In lower levels things are dark, gray, experiences are shallow. You become alienated from those around you.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The wheel goes round and round and round forever. Pleasure, pain, birth and death, lifetime after lifetime, it is endless. All sentient beings experience this, the endless dance of life, the lila.

The top of the band would be happiness, contentment and peace of mind.
