Bringing spiritual insights into practical
application, manifestation and recognition in the details of
everyday conventional life this has been my challenge these
past few years since writing "A Letter from Moses."
The revelations that emerged from these efforts are as follows:
It really is true, in every dimension of
life, that there is only one reality, God, and that the self
of me untrammeled by erroneous beliefs in duality is free to
experience itself as the oneness of and as all reality. All that
I experience as the "outside world" with all its near
and far people and events on all levels of magnitude from my
own personal immediate experiences right on up to my current
awareness of the vastness of a trillion galaxies, is all my own
self in infinite intimate manifestation wherein there is in fact
no dichotomy between my observing consciousness and any manifestation
that may be observed. The universal belief in duality inclines
myself (along with everyone else) to divide myself into the self
that experiences and apparently external events that are experienced,
but this division is an illusion, arising out of the illusion
of an assumed and projected identity, the assumed identity being
my own conventional sense of self as a limited, isolated human
being with my own personal, historically created set of problems,
and the projected identity being this great big ultra complex
world that not only appears to be external to me, but ridden
with monumental hallucinations of discord, disharmony, suffering,
disaster, distress, disease, catastrophe, poverty, hatred, war,
and the other several million versions of the battle between
the illusory notion of good and evil that is part of the fundamental
and culturally entrenched erroneous belief in duality, the erroneous
belief in two powers, the erroneous belief that God is not absolutely
the one and only, the belief that the self is something separate
from and other than God, the belief that the self is something
far less than and other than the qualitative nature of God as
absoluteness, entirety, totality, wholeness, completeness, harmony
and perfection.
Ultimate illumination is the experience of
Cosmic Consciousness the immediate and intimate experience
of the entire cosmos as your own immediate and intimate self.
On the way to ultimate enlightenment are all the present moments
that occur between now and the grand finale, and ideally those
present moments consist in the practical application of the understanding
set forth above.
In practical terms that means for example
that I remember, or frequently remind myself, that all the people
I work with are both within my consciousness and an expression
of my consciousness, as is also all the machinery I work with,
the processes the machinery execute, the technology that is both
being developed and being produced, as well as the human psychodynamics
and behavior of all the workers, managers, policies, procedures,
decision-making, group dynamics and all the forces of the competitive
marketplace within which the company I work for a living organism
reaching for success and trying diligently to avoid the pitfalls
that lead to failure. All of this is occurring within my own
consciousness insofar as I recognize that consciousness to be
the one consciousness that is God knowing/being itself.
Though the gap may seem large, such reminders
make the immediate field of my consciousness, and all that is
within it, miraculously fertile with solutions, serendipities,
synchronicities, and other apparent transformations that render
that field more in alignment and harmony with the infinite harmony
and perfection that is the true nature of the one God that is
in actuality the omniaction and omnipresence of what I've been
apprehending through the distorted lens of the mass-consciousness
belief in two powers or duality.
Living then becomes a matter of seeing through
appearances to the reality that lies in back of and behind my
initial misperceptions. Meditation allows the reminder that God
is the only reality to be experienced more clearly and deeply
because one is taking a time-out from the milieu of experience
to touch home base without the distraction of erroneous appearances,
but once fortified with the refreshment of this time-out, and
with the further advantage of the mysterious fertility such meditations
imbue all that is to follow with a greater inclination towards
the manifestation of oneness instead of duality, a greater sense
of intimacy with all that follows therefore results, and the
greater manifestation of harmony, or oneness, is felt also as
a greater sense of oneness with events, people and circumstances
from which I previously felt more alienated. It is an ongoing,
rich and complex process, with surprising new challenges always
appearing on the scene. It is the unfolding of the lotus of illumination,
a lotus with an infinite number of petals, each petal being each
moment lived in the manner described above.
