People would often settle for ‘you are a part of the
universe’. But on further examination, the whole universe is you. When you are
deep asleep there is nothingness. When you are awake all perceptions come back.
You evoke the whole universe from your point of view while dreaming or awake.
In the awake, dreaming state there is just perception. The ‘you’, mine, other
is a division within the same space. ‘Time’ and ‘space’ are also part of this
perception. Everything is eternally present and is ‘just is’. If all
experiences are completed they leave the empty space you truly are without a
trace. Like when a new born child moves from one room to another – everything
is totally different.
People have also reported that set and setting is a huge
thing while using psychedelics and just moving from one room to another makes a
profound difference. Maybe this is
because the psychedelics greatly sensitize you and loosen your existing models
of the world, allowing for fresh perspectives. You are life looking through
this perspective/corner of its own creation. Everything is looking at itself
from a specific viewpoint within everything. It’s like space moving through
space. It’s like light moving through light. It’s like a hologram/fractal where
everything is contained in everything infinitely. Everything is a play of consciousness. There
is wholeness in every moment. It’s only the form that’s changing. All energies are there right now, the total
energy of the universe is always the same and infinite and we are the total
energy at every moment. Can you feel or know anything apart from you? We are
the infinite energy and in an infinite sea of change. Even the enduring
entities in our perception ultimately fall away upon death. So death is the
final point for holding on to anything. The timeless component is not the
changing forms; it is the formless awareness behind all form.
THERE IS NOTHING APART FROM YOUR POINT OF VIEW AND YOUR
EXPERIENCE. If you think there is, you have just divided your experience up
into categories and concepts. You have created the entire game of the universe and now
you’re in it and pretending to have
forgotten that you know everything in order to freshly experience everything
for the first time through infinite living creatures having infinite lives and
infinite new perspectives for each. But the awareness which is everything,
which is the knowing, which is simultaneously empty is always your essence.
All experience is felt moment to moment and is unique at
every moment on sensitive examination. We never step in the same river twice.
All the entities we think of as having essence are ghost like, when we shine
bright light of awareness on them, they simply disappear and the truth is
revealed in sparkling clarity. These essential entities can be dissolved only
on intense powerful observation.
Our ultimate desire seems to be of union with everything. We
relate to humans and not animals because we think they are similar to us. It
seems like we always try to further our definition of ourselves. If we identify
with a certain culture, conditioning, beliefs etc. then we try to expand only
in that direction by finding similar people. The wider the definition of yourself,
the more people you are embrace and understand. With the highest understanding,
by this reasoning, you should be able to embrace every single concept, thing,
person; real or imagined.
Is it similar to how we divide the land area of the world
into countries? Are we dividing and sizing up people into similar boxes,
boundaries, sets?
