You will one day come to the realization that Shakespeare's quote below is the truth. 

When you inquire deeply into "Who Am I?", you will walk into the light of the Supreme Being. This magical state is none other than yourself, hidden perhaps, but ever present. 

In this land of pure bliss, you will be writing poetry of your own. 

William Shakespeare 

“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so” is a quote from William Shakespeare’s tragedy, Hamlet. It appears in Act II, Scene 2 and is spoken by Hamlet.

Towards the conclusion of The Tempest, Prospero famously says, “We are such stuff / As dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.” This sentiment—that our lives are somehow illusory, and that fiction and reality are closely intertwined—could be said to constitute William Shakespeare’s central philosophy. As Colin McGinn, author of Shakespeare and Philosophy puts it, “skepticism is Shakespeare’s main theme,” for “the possibility of error about people and the world… in its many forms” is one of the consistent subjects of his plays. Shakespeare’s work presents life, like theater, as fundamentally a fiction, and the task of the individual as living in light of that realization.

Bravo Shakespeare!

All should bow in your bright light of awareness of the way things truly are.
