<\/h2>\n

You Are A Part of This<\/h2>\n

Dark and light circled like an orbit.<\/strong> A silhouette of consciousness. She stepped out of faded wall paper.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are a part of this,\u201d she said to me. \u201cA part of Mother Earth, the air, the Cosmos, God–every infinite inch of life, and all of it. And it doesn\u2019t end.\u201d<\/p>\n

In that moment, all awareness of duality evaporated. No you-and-I, no concept of the other, no here no there.<\/p>\n

She was my Higher Self, but I felt no distinction between us, no separation.<\/p>\n

She lifted the veil to reveal a oneness and euphoria so great it felt impossible. Time was abolished. I was breathing and being breathed and even the walls looked back at me as me.<\/span> The colors on the sofa, the temperature in the room, the air, I was all of it, the observer and the play. Life as a kaleidoscope of dark and light, nothing to go to, nothing to come from, already whole.<\/p>\n

I felt each moment as a jewel–the precious culmination of the infinite, strung together not as separate objects, but as a sea of awareness moving through itself without categories, and stripped of all judgment, continually learning itself, creating itself anew. I was watching a live projection and feeling it as it was reflected back.<\/p>\n

In a painting the negative space must exist to give evidence of its creation.<\/strong> The dark is scaffolding for the light. Each moment of our Being unfolds from a potentiality so vast that you are moved to stop and simply be. This unbelievable glimpse of the universe, this is life.<\/p>\n

\u201cBehold.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
