Let’s explore the idea of being more or less loving. We could say that one of the common goals of the spiritual aspirant is to become a more loving person, correct?
For sure.
Let’s look at how this evolution works from both the relative and the absolute perspective, as well as how those two interact.
The mind is designed to think in either/or ways. Duality. The mind thinks that it’s this OR that, not this AND that.
Is someone right or wrong? How ’bout both? And neither?
We’re either separate or connected or one. Which one is True?
There is a here and a there, or there is only a here. Is there here?
Could fear be a form of love?
Could the Devil actually be God?
Something can be something, or nothing, or everything, but not all simultaneously.
Is there really Truth separate from something called falsehood?
It seems as though awakening makes the mind have to face some impossible realities that are obviously and undeniably happening right before your eyes.
You are the space of nothingness that is full of everything, and they are not separate. Nothing and Everything are unified as One.
Individuality and Oneness
Individuality does not imply separation. A wave is not in any way separate from the ocean, but is the ocean itself, expressing itself as a wave.
There is no separation, and yet there is simultaneously oneness AND the infinite. Non-duality is NOT limited to just Oneness. That’s why they don’t call non-duality oneness. Non-duality means not-two, or not-separate.
It seems like the mind can get “stuck” in oneness, yet the One expresses itself in an infinite number of ways. In this, there is no loss of individuality. Everything is the One.
Any realization or understanding you must be willing to let go of, including Oneness. You must be willing to not understand or know a single thing. To have no idea what the Truth is. To be that simple and unattached to knowing.
You are the indescribable, and you are all descriptions. There is nothing that you are not, and you are that which you are not, except that you aren’t.
Beingness
How would you describe or visualize beingness? It has no qualities to describe. It just is. Is/am/are/were.. all forms of the word be. To be, you just are. Nothing else. No thing to describe. Just beingness being without any mental image to wrap around beingness.
Free of identity beyond simple existence.
Creation
You look at a plant and you see how Creation creates itself and recreates itself infinitely fast over and over, yet taking no time to do it. How is this possible?
Every thing is the unmanifest no thingness expressing itself repeatedly in a series of blips of time that doesn’t even exist.
You Are What You Are Not
God is All That Is. You are God. You are All That Is. Illusion and the dream state is God. Non-God is God.
Your thoughts are not what you really are. Yet thoughts are another manifestation of All That Is. Thoughts are All That Is. Everything is All That Is. Everything you look at IS the infinite. Thoughts are your true Self, the totality of what you are, as is everything else in All That Is. There are no “parts” of God. There is simply the unified totality even though there is the individual which is not the totality.
A is not B. Yet there is ultimately only one presence, both of which A and B are. Thus A is B, just different manifest expressions of the same One presence.
Your body is your mind which is your false self which is your true self which is the sun which is the stars which is your deepest passion… it’s all the same, even though it’s different. They are not two.
Creating the Impossible
You can experience the unreal by making it real in your own imagination and thus experiencing it. Have you ever seen someone completely misinterpret a situation and experience something that never actually happened except in their own imagination? This is the experience of the dream state people call real life. It’s all just a play of mind which is consciousness pretending to be mind, which is lila, the play of the Divine.
Because of this creative and imaginative ability, we can somehow experience separation up to a certain point, even though it doesn’t actually exist! Through the mind, we can create the impossible and make it manifest. “Anything is possible.” This is what the mind does. It makes up stories and descriptions to describe that which just is and has no description. The mind is a creative and imaginative story-teller.
The you you think you are is just another story.
Humanity
Paradoxically we can go through separation to realize oneness. All separation eventually does reintegrate back into Unity.
We can experience who we are not in order to realize who we really are. This is the summation of the human experience.
There is NOTHING wrong OR right with any experience, real or illusory. It just is what it is, all part of a larger scheme to bring us back to who we are, unless it does not.
When the wave falls back into the ocean and realizes its immense depth, nothing is lost. Awareness expands consciously to become more conscious of what it is, and always “was” and always “will be.” It just is.
The wave does not cease to exist when the ocean is realized. It simply realizes its own depth. The wave continues to happen, but it feels so superficial compared to the immensity of the infinite Self, yet the wave IS the infinite Self.
You are the impossible, happening, and you are not.
Surrendering the Need to Understand
The mind… can it even grasp Truth?
What if we just gave up trying to understand all this?
What happens when we finally get it that we can’t get it…
What if we let go of trying to understand, know, or realize anything…
Oneness and Separateness are not two. Like in a hologram, everything already exists within the hologram, but the perspective you look at it from determines the “version” of the totality you experience.
Your thoughts determine your perspective (what you focus on expands), which determines your energetic vibration (Law of Attraction), which determines what channel in the TV of life you experience.
The many things in life ultimately are not separate yet somehow connected, as if there was a dualistic “out there” for anything to exist in outside of the here and now. If there is only here and only now, where else and when else can anything possibly exist?

Side note: THANK YOU for all your comments so far! I am extraordinarily grateful for all the feedback and suggestions you guys have been kind enough to share with me and it is all really helping.
Nature can be a wonderful teacher. When we look a little more closely, we notice that Oneness is already quite apparent in nature and that things are much more connected than them seem at first glance.
School of Fish
Have you ever watched a school of fish swimming together? Perhaps you saw it on TV or in real life somewhere. Either way, chances are you noticed that the fish clearly swim as one unified pack.
When the school changes direction, all of the fish change direction simultaneously. There’s no fish leader who chooses where to go and creates a domino effect of turning fish as they all follow his lead. No, they all turn instantly as one unified group, even in when the school is incredibly ginormous and there’s no way the fish in the back could see the fish in the front.
Which perspective is correct? The individual or the one? BOTH. All that changes is your perspective, the way you are looking at the One and the All. You’re seeing BOTH the individual fishies AND one seamless group.
Nature is an amazing thing and it offers plenty of examples and insights for what we need when we’re willing to take a look.
Funny that we just started talking about teleportation because scientists at the University of Maryland just teleported information between two separate atoms. It’s not teleportation of matter from “here” to “there” quite yet, but it’s yet another step in that direction!
A few of you even reported having just watched Down the Rabbit Hole recently. Thank you for your synchronicity!
If you’re not into this sort of stuff, no worries. We’ll return back to our regularly scheduled programming shortly… unless we don’t!
I am now open to receiving information about this subject from a variety of sources, from any direction. This topic is definitely pushing the limits of my current understandings. Teleportation also brings together many of my deepest passions: spirituality, astronomy, light, and God.
In addition to the Bashar video posted the other day, here’s a few other things I’ve found so far since then:
What we call physical matter is nothing more than energy that’s sort of “clumped up” together. Like energy attracts like energy and globs up with its buddies. Birds of a feather, y’know?
Our senses are nothing more than vibrational perceivers.
There’s no real colors out there. There’s just vibrational energy. If it’s vibrating a little faster or a little slower, our eyes can detect that change and the respective differences are drawn in our mind as different shades and hues of color. Color is how our bodies translate a particular range of frequency.
Energy can be picked up by scientific tools and mapped out onto computer screens, charts, diagrams, and so on. Our bodies do something similar, but instead of measuring energy and doing all the geeky stuff with computers, it simply draws it on the screen of our minds. Our bodies are energetic translators.
If Our Minds Were Wired Differently
The wiring inside our bodies could have been switched around when humans first came onto the scene. If our ear drums were physiologically wired to what is now our vision area of the brain, then when the ear drums detected sound, we’d register that as color or shapes or whatever.
Conversely, when the eyes detected a particular range of vibrational frequency, converted that information to electricity, and passed that information to the brain, if the wires were crossed, we’d “hear” light as if it were sound and music.
Dag dabit. Kids these days and their bright music… Make your music dimmer already!
In another universe, perhaps…
It’s all perception. What we’re perceiving isn’t literally true.
The whole universe is silent. It’s colorless. There’s no tastes, no textures. Sounds kinda boring, doesn’t it? It’s all just energy swishing this way and that. Fortunately, our bodies are these wonderfully miraculous tools that allow us to perceive all this energy in a way we can truly appreciate and enjoy.
Why This Matters
Taking this understanding that everything EVERYTHING is pure energy, including what we call matter, all that “Law of Attraction” stuff starts to make a little more sense, does it not?
Everything that we desire: money, relationships, health, cars, experiences, candy bars… whatever it is, it’s all pure energy. Energy tends to be attracted unto like energy and all the Law of Attraction is about is focusing awareness onto a particular range within the infinite spectrum of possibilities that exist within the imaginative mind… all of the possibilities we can imagine are like unique vibrational frequencies that we can activate through thought. When the mind focuses awareness upon a thought, the “physical” being then vibrates in harmony with that thought, literally attracting that energy unto itself. Do that enough, and let go of the resistance, and *poof!* Manifestation!
Bravo, Houdini!
This understanding that everything is Energy, literally, is key to understanding how your life unfolds, why certain experiences and people show up in your physical reality, as well as what is likely to show up in your life.
Recognizing this, one then begins to take responsibility for their life and their experience, a step up from the victim/perpetrator model of the world thinking that someone is “doing something” to another and that the blame lies outside of oneself. This is definitely not the case. You are responsible for your vibration. You are responsible for your reality. You are responsible for who you are. Everything in life is simply an opportunity to demonstrate who and what you are, to express who and what you are, and to be who and what you are. That’s life!
It is such a joy to interact with all of you, to hear from you, and to see you all truly being yourselves.
You are the Divine and it is such a magnificent experience to witness the Divinity within you all expressing itself.
Thank you God, the same God that is within you and within me, for it is really all the same God since we are all One. The appreciation I feel is not something that necessarily needs to be sent “out there” for there is no out here. This appreciation I feel is sitting right here, resonating with me, being me, for it is me.
I am immensely appreciative for each and every one of you choosing to be yourselves and realizing more and more who you really are.
I am simultaneously grateful for the acceptance and openness you all have given me in allowing me to be myself around you.
Thank you for your Love, for your Beingness, and for your Time and Energy.
Playing with each and every one of you is such a wonderful gift and for this I am most appreciative.
This world is one of paradox. It is a world in which two dualistic and seemingly opposing viewpoints often battle it out for the title of being RIGHT. (Insert heroic trumpet fanfare here!)
In fact, being right is the one thing that people(‘s egos) will sacrifice most anything for, including their own happiness, health, wealth, and even their very lives. Never underestimate the human ego’s desire to be right!!
The irony is that from a higher perspective, from the level of non-dualistic consciousness, it becomes clear that NEITHER are right AND BOTH are right! Say what!? How can this be??
It’s not this OR that, but this AND that.
Perhaps you’ve seen two people who are arguing about something, only to realize that they’re both right. The thing is that they’re both looking at the same thing, but simply seeing it from different perspectives.
When you can stand in the center and realize how both seemingly opposing viewpoints are actually both valid, are really the same truth viewed from different perspectives, then you can say you are centered in your being.
The most natural way to get to that integrated space is to let the mind be quiet. Paradox can be conceptualized in the mind, but there’s truly nothing to understand. Simply be still and know. The paradoxes will be revealed to you.
It seems that reality is centered right between the paradoxes. Life finally “clicks” when you sit between the paradoxes.
You Are Truly Loved features content designed to guide people towards enlightenment, unconditional love, and living a life of joy through Self-realization and proper application of the Law of Attraction.
