Would We Now Believe It?

For a long time awakening has been kept secret. The simplicity of it was obscured by poetic language which was further obscured by prose. Add to that: cultural prejudice, gender bias, philosophical differences between east and west, spiritual and material polarities. We are not on any one side of this dialogue. What we point to is a universal experience.

All of us at some time have sensed something more. We have not only contemplated something more, we have experienced something more. We have realized something more. We have directly encountered the "something more," Call it the universe, call it God, call it Awareness, Consciousness, Presence. Call it what you like.

The point is, had we not been told, we are separate, that we are fallen, that we are apart from the totality of Life, would we now believe it? Would we look at "so and so" or "such and such" and say, "You are other than me?" Would we not have intuitively sensed on a very basic level, that we are all one, not just we but everything, the whole of existence?

Have we really had a chance to be natural? From the time we reached the age of reason, others were telling us who we were and how the world is. It's time to unmask this notion. It's time to return to our own wisdom, our own intuitive sense, that we are not separate and that nothing is.
