Thinking and contemplating have become the basis of our life.
Authentic religion says that thinking and contemplating are not the basis of our life -- to become free from thinking and contemplating, to become thought-less, should be the basis.

They are even more indescribable. It is difficult to even define what kind of relationships they are because we do not know at all.
I told you earlier that the life-force of a mother activates the navel of a child. A kind of
