The Primary Ultimacy of the Most-Intimate Present

There is only the Primary Ultimacy of the Most-Intimate Present. Everything else is a mental mist that is erroneously perceived to be grounded in Fact and Reality. The Primary Ultimacy of the Most-Intimate Present is the only Reality. All religions--whether they're looking at exoteric, mesoteric, or esoteric areas of human development--are only tools. These tools can either be used for destructive or constructive purposes, but that is not the point. The point is that the tool can not unveil the Primary Ultimacy of the Most-Intimate Present. The toolmaker, or artisan, or the individual self can not use a tool to pry open, or vehemently hammer, the Truth. This is because the toolmaker is essentially the tool, and the tool is essentially the toolmaker. In Reality there is neither the toolmaker nor the tool. There is only the Primary Ultimacy of the Most-Intimate Present. Everything else is like exhalation-vapor: as soon as the individual self breathes it out into the chilly winter air, it appears for a moment, dissipates, and then is revealed to be essentially non-essential. Once again, there is only the Primary Ultimacy of the Most-Intimate Present.
