From an energetic standpoint, reading is literally downloading information out of nothing. This is relevant to all other ways of acquiring information too, including contact with “other people”.
Physical reality is a dream! It’s completely empty. You’re not really getting information from a book – what’s happening is that your mind is morphing into a mind with that information, by itself. Here’s how to understand this:
Visualize that you’re reading a book. Now, subtract physical reality from the equation – but stay in the exact same state, as if you didn’t notice that physicalness disappeared. What’s happening energetically? -> You’re “acquiring” thoughts that were previously unknown to you. There’s a “downloading” happening – but it’s being done by nothing, out of nothing! Since you are God and The Only Thing. You’re changing by yourself into something new that you weren’t in the previous moment. It’s literally magic!
When you put yourself into a state of openness and intentional listening, you start pulling rabbits (energy/thoughts) out of the Infinity/Nothing hat. That’s the beauty of God for you.
