You are a soul carrying about a corpse.

Man as he is has ceased to be…
Man as he is has ceased to be the All. But when he ceases to be a separate individual, he raises himself again and permeates the universe.
Plotinus
To simply love God in thought with singleness…
To simply love God in thought with singleness of heart, and to follow the Goodness of his will – this is philosophy, unsullied by intrusive cravings for pointless opinions.
Hermes Trismegistus
Is it possible to live abundantly with nothing…
Is it possible to live abundantly with nothing, no home, a beggar without a country? Look, God has sent you someone to show you by his example that is possible. I have no home, country, wife, or children, but only earth and heaven and a simple blanket. But I am happy. I am not anxious. I am free. Look friends, how I have nothing and need nothing. See, I am a homeless, landless exile; and yet I live more free from troubles than all the rich and powerful.
Epictetus
Why will you not admit that the universe…
Why will you not admit that the universe is a conscious intelligence since conscious intelligences are born from it?
Cicero
