One World or Two?

I feel that the greatest thing I have ever awakened to is the truth that there is not 2 distinct realities but One reality expressed in a multitude of ways. When you really think about it, the sheer genius and beauty of existence is astounding. Couldn't have thought it up better myself..

And whats more is that there is nothing "I need to do" to keep the genius and beauty flowing. Its self sustained, perfectly. However its when we get attached to certain idea's, certain conditions that we begin the vicious cycle of control and loss. We try to take something that is beautiful and perfect and constrain it into a small little box, and then call that box our beliefs, our needs, our wants and desires. Next thing we know we've become lost in attaining and maintaining these silly ideas and eventually suffering because they either didn't fulfill the illusory need we created or it requires more energy then we can muster to hold on to them.

So whats the alternative? How do we get free of this circle and finally find peace?

The answer is simpler then you think and it won't require a leap of faith or the stretching of thought or belief to realize the truth. Ready?

It's already done.

Ha! See the simplicity? See the beauty? This is the genius which is ever present in all things, and at all times. When we really think about our lives we are either chasing something or running from something. We are in either the past or the future. And when we exist explicitly in these 2 worlds we suffer, we get sick, we get old, we die. And whats worse, we never realize the true peace and contentment which is our natural state. 

So how does one resolve this apparent paradox? How do we become free of the restraints imposed by this pendulum modality? This part takes some work and patience because we literally need to forget to remember. And yes, it can be as difficult as it sounds. Though, its not impossible. 

Imagine this; you have a container and inside the container you have oil and water. Naturally they do not mix so the bottom half of the container holds the oil, the top half holds the water. The dualisitic approach to existence which we are all accustomed to causes us to see (and choose) from either the oil or the water. The oil can represent gross, material existence and the water represents the less dense, less physical, liquid nature of spirit. 

The spiritual path can lead us to believe that we are not the oil, but we are the water. And in effect this causes us to merely translate oil experiences from the perspective of water (spirit). And there are many who translate water experiences from oil (gross body/mind) perspectives. Either way you determine your experience from where you are relating from. 

So here we have the 2 world modal. Some folks believe to be Water, others believe to be Oil. I am here to tell you that you are NEITHER and BOTH. Yes! Here is the door (and the key) to ultimate freedom from suffering and bondage. You are neither Water (Spirit) or Oil (Body) but that which both arise from and are contained within. So your the clear, glass container that is unaffected by the presence (or lack thereof) of water or oil (or subsequent combinations). 

It is in this place where we become free of the pendulum, free from the rat race, free from the competition and free from any and all requirements. Its done. 

Ha!
