True, or false? . . .

God is omnipresent.
Humanity is One.
God dwells within us.

I have been on a path of conscious ‘spiritual awakening’ for just over four years now, and while in many ways it has been a journey of learning new information, I have come to understand that it has been more a process of unlearning – of shredding the mind’s many layers of ‘knowing’. What remains at the core? Experiential truth. But that is something I will discuss a bit later on…
 

We are currently living in times of great uncertainty. The world is constantly changing at a rapid pace, and now more than ever humans are looking for answers – answers to their problems, to their true identity, to the real meaning of their existence and of life itself. For generations, religion has served as a key foundation in many people’s daily lives – deemed as an authority of the highest order, and one that can essentially dictate to us what are considered to be the most ‘Divine truths’.

There is, however, a phenomenal danger in empowering such a hierarchical structure of authority – the most critical one being the giving away of one’s emotional, sovereign free will. For thousands of years, a large percentage of humanity have, to one degree or another, (unconsciously) surrendered their personal free will to religious and spiritual authorities in exchange for attaining what they believe to be promises of salvation or spiritual enlightenment. More importantly though, there has been an immense fear that humans have held concerning the idea of choosing not to accept and follow a religious or spiritual belief system of some sort – the fear of persecution and abandonment.

The oneness we are referring to when we speak of unification with the source is not quite a loss in identity but a finding of one. It serves you to think of yourself as an individual because it makes daily life that much easier to stand. If you fully embraced the ones that is within it would be impossible for you to stand aside and allow injustices to take place all over the world. You would join hands with your brothers and sisters and end the madness.

 Your identity as you know it to be is the icing on the cake. Danielle is the fingerprint but she is also the finger, so too is she the hand, wrist and so on. When you examine Danielle at a deeper level, you see cells, atoms, electrons and eventually particles so tiny and spaces between those particles. Is one nucleus of a cell still considered Danielle? Or is Danielle only Danielle when she is many, many cells collected in a specific arrangement? If we rearranged her cells completely or spread them far out is she still Danielle? If those cells spread out even further and began to multiply, what then? Where did Danielle go? What makes her essence? Is it the number of cells, arrangements, and collection of other physical aspects that make her? Or is there something more here?

It’s not that Danielle isn’t her cells, it’s that she is more than just her cells. She is more than a unique arrangement of parts. If that is the case, then where does Danielle end and Anthony begin? If she is not just her physical body but more than that, what separates her and Anthony? Her and a plant? Her and the rest of the world?

Danielle is a unique pattern of energy moving in and out of form at all times. Her energy knows no bounds nor does it ever cease to exist or move. Her pattern is her essence but when the pattern is looked at close enough, it too is made up of smaller and smaller parts. This pattern is as infinitely big as it is infinitely small. Again, where does it end?

The answer: it doesn’t. Each and every infinitely large and infinitely small part has the same core, energy. This energy can and has been called many different names over time. We call it love.

All the religions become just institutions, and if you fit in these religions then something is wrong with you. No alive person can fit with a dead ritual.

The supply sergeant handed the new army recruit a pair of trousers, and the soldier put them on. They fit perfectly. Then the sergeant handed him a shirt and cap. They too fit perfectly.

”We have a problem here,” the sergeant finally said. ”You must be deformed.”
 

When anything weighs heavily on your heart, you may think the weight is about love. A loved one ditched you, in life or by death, and your heart is heavy. Yes, of course, you miss the loved one, and, yet, basically, your question is:
 
“How could you leave me?” Or, “How could God allow this to happen?”  
 
No matter how much you loved your loved one, it is not love that asks these questions. It is not love that feels bereft. Love doesn’t get thrown for a loop when a loved one leaves. There is more going on here.
 
Attachment, of course, sense of loss, a sense of helplessness are going on. Feelings of attachment, loss, helplessness are not love. You feel lost. You feel that love has been lost, by will or by chance or for any reason or no reason all, and you are put out.
 
The physical presence may be gone, yet love is not lost. Whether you are the object of the other’s love or not, love had its day in the sunshine. I do not make little of your heartache, yet you make too much of it, as though a crime has been done, a wrongful act, a grievous error, an impossibility. Well, it is impossible for love to go away. If you had a love, you have the love still. Where have you put it?

A great many human beings spin their wheels waiting for the perfect external circumstances to happen to make them feel good. They base their happiness on other people’s behaviour to make them feel satisfied and whole. They wait for the perfect partner to arrive to make them happy. They try to create an experience of wholeness from a base of emptiness and, sadly, that cannot be done.

It would amount to going to a bank and attempting to collect the interest on a million dollars from an empty bank account and then being disappointed when you were not successful. It would not make any sense.

Sometimes, you have to stand by and watch another’s truth unfold. Your involvement in it might dilute, distort, influence, change or dis-create it for them. This does not mean you love them any less, have no desire to help or do not want to share in the experience with them. It shows that you, in all your perfection, want the other to attain theirs in their own way. ~ Creator

With everything I write, I try to go beyond dualistic thought altogether. It’s a rather challenging thing to do, as I’m limited by a dualistic language. It seems I’m doing a decent job at this though, because I’ve noticed an interesting thing with people’s reactions to my writings. Some people believe I’m being negative, while others see my writings as positive. Let me go into an example:

I wrote about forgiveness previously, and while I mentioned how wonderfully healing forgiveness is and encouraged it, I also mentioned it’s an illusion (if you don’t judge someone as having wronged you, what is there to forgive?). Well some people took this as me saying forgiveness is a “bad thing”, which is not what I said, nor is it how I view forgiveness.

It seems people want to define the things in their life as either being “good” or “bad”, and  they’re looking for spiritual messages to assist with this. Yikes! Reality doesn’t fit very well into the narrow confines of duality. We certainly don’t encourage people to judge everything in their lives as either “good or bad”. I posted this story a few days ago on our site, and it directly applies to what I’m talking about here:
