The human world is a mass patterned limit roles being played out in presumed separation, of one to the “other” and to reality itself. The body mind becomes a vehicle of pain in this mass patterning. The methods of trying to feel better are taken from the same knowledge presumption that you are separate and have to “get back” to connection. The whole world of religion, seeking and yoga, in fact the mass patterns of modernism and our post truth world is based on this originating presumption of God as “other” that you need to get to. We are deeply programmed in it. Every person and the Earth is destroyed in that presumption. Human survival. is in question. Man’s heaven has created a hell of this abundant paradise.

IN FACT. there is no “other”. There is only reality, the power of the cosmos arising as pure intelligence, unspeakable beauty in the intrinsic harmonies of infinity. Start there. Life is springing forth as that. There is the One. No difference. Not two. Only One. And you are that. You do not have to get to that because you are that. You don’t have to realize that because you are that. There is also a delightful dance of unique individuation and inherent relationship with all in the One.

You don’t have to realize it because you already are reality, so the obvious and only response is to participate in and as the Given realty. This is what Yoga is.

All along the way through human history there have been reality realizers, like Christ, Buddha, Mohammed and many of our recent time who have spelt out the fact of the situation and given the transmission of realty.

In relationship to reality realizers all seeking and the primitive sacrifices in presumed separation are made redundant. Such a relationship is not more seeking in presumed separation but indeed an actual love relationship of profound mutual affection, to each other, to life itself that naturally includes all others… in the new world of “no difference”, “not two” yet celebrating unique individuation and relationship in the One.

Humanity can have this now having seen the mess that imagined separation has put us in.

Let’s uphold the treasures of our own wisdom cultures and our own reality realizers.
