A
ON FAITH
"…. Faith is a certitude in the soul which does not depend on reasoning, on this or that mental idea, on circumstances, on this or that passing condition of the mind or the vital or the body. It may be hidden, eclipsed, may even seem to be quenched, but it reappears again after the storm or the eclipse; it is seen burning still in the soul when one has thought that it was extinguished forever. The mind may be a shifting sea of doubts and yet that faith may be there within and, if so, it will keep even the doubt-racked mind in the way so that it goes on in spite of itself towards its destined goal. Faith is a spiritual certitude of the spiritual, the divine, the soul’s ideal, something that clings to that even when it is not fulfilled in life, even when the immediate facts or the persistent circumstances seem to deny it. This is a common experience in the life of the human being; if it were not so, man would be the plaything of a changing mind or a sport of circumstance."

"The wise person sees all beings situated in God, and God as situated in all beings. For this reason, the wise person hates no one. For the person who always sees all living beings existing in such unity with the Lord, what illusion or sorrow can he know?" - Isha Upanishad, 6-7

Artem expressed that very well in his writing. My experience is that eternity is true but there is no need to hold on to it. Just like the rest. Live and enjoy your life naturally because it will also end. It is both.

sense of pure potentiality. That every second anything new can happen and arise.
It’s the source of awareness/consciousness.
Adyashanti usually calls it the “God head” or the “Absolute

THE WORDS OF THIS STANZA of the Gita can also be interpreted as referring to powers rather than to persons. When the life force is withdrawn from the senses and transferred toward the brain, a sense of superior power ensues in which the inferior hodily sensations are dissolved. A yogi has learned that he must not keep the life force attached continually to the senses, or it will remain dictatorially habituated to the enjoyment of sensations. By ecstatic meditation he withdraws his life force to the superior path of spine and brain, automatically causing all the inferior senses to follow, that is, to be absorbed in the cerebral Jight. This experience occurs even in deep sleep, when all sensory perceptions are absorbed in the semiconscious enjoyment of the soul. In the very deep state of dreamless sleep, the life force is switched off completely from any subconscious cognition of the outer world. Tuned in with supreme Bliss, man's senses are revitalized, causing him to say upon awakening: "I had a wonderful sleep!"
