When in Reality (the "reality peel":)timeless, un-individualized Being is who we really are. There is only *perception* of individual, separate existence; an individual "entity" that lives and dies. When in Reality it's all just one seamless flow of Existence/Consciousness Itself. "We're" just free to *live* inseparably from the One that's living this. It's all just 'This' - living Itself anyway - the manifest and the unmanifest "sides" of Life Itself.<br /><br />As I meander down this road this awareness keeps getting a little clearer... although for now it still feels like I'm seeing it through a veil, or maybe even that brick wall :)<br /><br />BTW - I *love* your words "reality peel"! I'm sure they will become a part of my vocabulary as well :)<br /><br />Thanks for your comment here - much appreciated...

I feel this way too when I walk through a cemetery and read name after name on the tombstones. These people were here and now they're gone, and some day I'll be gone too. It could be so depressing and futile, except that in nonduality there is no "other side", so it's all in the present.<br /><br />Thanks for a another keeper. :)Meg Hitchcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352450243334572423noreply@blogger.com
