Truth...

There is One who is the eternal Reality among non-eternal objects, the one [truly] conscious Entity among conscious objects, and who, though non-dual, fulfills the desires of many. Eternal peace belongs to the wise, who perceive Him within themselves – not to others.

Katha Upanishad

Truth...when ones heart is open to the One...Love...

This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.”

This visualization gives one a sense of the immensity of scale that exists in the known universe: scalar dimensions, an infinite fractal series of embedded boundary conditions from the infinitely large to the infinitely small. With the technology available to us right now, the largest boundary we can see is the observable universe (about 13.82 billion years old and about 93 billion light years across) down to the Planck length, the smallest vibration of the electromagnetic spectrum. We are embedded in those scales, in fact, we are about medium sized...
