those who know, know that the moth is reborn too -- because each death is a rebirth. Nothing ever comes to an end. Life is eternal; it only changes forms. and the best way to die is to die in love. That is the highest way to die because if you die in love you will be born in love. Your new life will begin with love energy.

Because we dream only about that which we know, we cannot dream about the unknown. In fact the unknowable is impossible to imagine and the inner world is absolutely unknown to us. And the innermost core of it is unknowable too.
