Janalovinglife“You search the sky for stars,
forgetting
you are the night.
You try to catch the ocean
in a shell,
not knowing
you are the tide.
You whisper prayers to the Divine,
not yet hearing
your own breath
as Her voice.
Be still now.
There is nothing missing.
You were never apart.” Sage
Dear Ones,
Perhaps you’ve heard before that we are all One. And perhaps you wonder what it actually means. And so if you are curious, today I am writing to you to invite you to investigate this a little bit further.
Let’s first assume that we don’t always see the reality as it is but often as we’ve been taught it is. It is very easy to see and experience what we expect. So just for now, imagine that Oneness is real but all your life you’ve been always taught separation in countless ways and were never really taught anything about Oneness. You’ve been consistently and repeatedly taught – both consciously and unconsciously – to see and experience yourself as a totally separate being, with a separate body and separate identity.
You might have experienced some deep connections so far with your loved ones and perhaps a pet. And perhaps you had moments – even if they were blink of an eye moments – where you suddenly felt at one with everything and everyone.
Perhaps you saw a beautiful sunset and any separation suddenly disappeared and you felt bliss and totally at one with all life. Perhaps you looked into the eyes of your child or lover and the same happened. And maybe you thought these were just fleeting moments or even optic illusions or a mirage.
But what if in those moments you actually saw The Truth of who you ultimately are – an infinite eternal being of light and love with no borders or limitations? What if everything you see, hear and experience at this very moment is YOU – your own consciousness “crystalised”? What if there is no real separation, no real division between you and the world? What if it is and always has been one thing?
And so if you feel inspired, dearest One, investigate this further through your own experiment. You could do this simply by seeing the world through this new perspective of Oneness. You could choose to see everything and everyone as an countless expression of the One. You could see everything as a natural extension of you. In this new perspective nothing is separate no matter how it looks on the surface of the physical reality but everything is connected. Everything is an expression and manifestation of your consciousness. You could choose to see everything as a dream. Your dream. You can’t be separated from your dream. You are dreaming the dream and everyone and everything in it.
This is just a perspective you are testing. It doesn’t need to be anything more than that, just an experiment, a curious and light investigation. Then just gently notice what arises within you as a consequence of this perspective. You are free to go back any time to the perspective which is so familiar to you and you already know so well – the perspective of separation and limitation. To conclude your experiment gently notice the difference. Which of these two perspectives is more real, more true at the deepest level of your being? And what does it mean for your life?
