A beautiful quote from Robert Monroe

Hey guys.
I was recently browsing various other people's blogs, and I came across one with some nice quotes about love. And it reminded me of my all time favorite quote about love, life, and reality in general. It was given to out of body pioneer Robert Monroe on one of his most amazing encounters in non-physical reality. Having travelled to the very end (and/or very beginning?) of space and time, he met a highly advanced being that was about to rejoin with the Whole from which all things originally came. Bob asked the being for more information about what it is to become complete. This was the answer he received:
We know this well. It can be said in your words.
There is no beginning, there is no end,
There is only change.
There is no teacher, there is no student,
There is only remembering.
There is no good, there is no evil,
There is only expression.
There is no union, there is no sharing,
There is only one.
There is no joy, there is no sadness,
There is only love.
There is no greater, there is no lesser,
There is only balance.
There is no stasis, there is no entropy,
There is only motion.
There is no wakefulness, there is no sleep,
There is only being.
There is no limit, there is no chance,
There is only a plan.
This is as we know it to be.
I always find reading that piece to be both inspirational and uplifting. It is so very simple, yet at the same time extremely beautiful and moving. It reveals new truths the more you consider it, and roll it around in your mind. It basically says that there's really no such thing as duality, because all things are ultimately One. It invokes in me a strange feeling of nostalgia, because it seems to point the way back Home. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
