"Prophecies"
"All things in creation exist inside The All and nothing, not even The Most High can exist outside of it. So if we could remove all of the dividing lines from creation, all that remains is The All. No human being can perceive of anything bigger than The All. It is the will of The All that gave birth to The Most High. The All is represented"
"Even with everything in the universe being part of The All, it is possible that other things exist outside of The All. For example, The All may be just like us on its own level of existence, with its own The All above it. Other beings would be part of that greater All having the same difficulty interacting with us as anyone else has entering the dreams of others"
