I love to talk and write about Oneness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In spiritual circles, it\u2019s often mentioned and revered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s the ultimate goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being Oneness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realizing Oneness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becoming Oneness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s something that many human beings aspire to experience, so that longing, that urge to search, that deep desire, is obviously built into who we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet, it\u2019s an extremely paradoxical endeavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person, you can never experience Oneness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because experiencing Oneness would erase the person entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There simply wouldn\u2019t be an individual left to know what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But not all is lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can come close, deliciously close, and feel filled up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The human being can definitely have a sense of Consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when that happens, it is simply known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it’s a big deal, sometimes it’s not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the time it sticks around, casually or obsessively, looking for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More of itself, as itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oneness playing you, creating you, acting like you, pretending there IS a you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The little you that is so important to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The little you we try to defend, enhance, make successful and push forward into liberation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As this little you, you can have a big sense of that indescribable Oneness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A conscious sense, a deep knowing, an aware vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And every word and every description used to describe it, don\u2019t come close to the actual experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet I can\u2019t stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IT can\u2019t stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking and writing about itself, as itself, within itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking for itself, longing for itself, AS itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hahaha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brilliant, right!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And painfully confusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Separation is like spiritual amnesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are always the only thing there is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are the feeling of being alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are never not that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are everything, always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
