When I was 7 years old, I had the most vivid dream. In the dream, at first I saw a tree, then slowly, the pictures changed. The tree became a bird, then a person, then a tree again. Then, the pictures started moving so fast that I could not tell how many things I saw, but I remember that tree in brief flashes. I remember feeling the most love that I had ever felt in my short 7 years on Earth. I was feeling a greater love than I had ever felt before. I woke up with the knowing the next morning that everything was everything.  Ever since then, I knew this in the deepest part of my soul. Everything is everything. Everything that has ever existed, is everything that exists. and everything that will ever be.
