Document Summary
Karma and your cellphone: you can only connect the dots looking backward, you have to trust that the dots will connect in your future. Why being, and not nothing: what is being, it is something eternal, hence eternal is not just about the truths of mathematics, but it is the nature of being itself. Imagination: normally we are caught up in the past or future, we imagine what happened before or what will happen later, we treat what is unreal as real, we live our lives mostly in imagination. In an illusion maya: the only reality is what is now. What about now: what is happening now, try to focus on something that is purely here and now, its gone before you can grasp it. Is present being real, if it vanishes in a flash: advaita: the oneness of atman/brahman.
