There ‘is’ only ONE SELF, not a ‘separate’ God(s) somewhere ‘out there’ that looks down on something called creation and judges it as so-called good or bad, meting out punishment or bestowing blessings, while taking sides in endless conflicts – big or little. This is the fairytale promoted for eons by religions and spiritual organizations to ‘control’ its followers, with them as the so-called divine intermediary.
The ONE SELF is Empty/Nothing-ness with infinite possibilities [the Real YOU] that ‘shows up’ in these possibilities as ‘dreams’ that come and go in order to Know IT SELF.
In these dreams, which are based on the belief in separation, conflict, chaos and confusion reign as the pendulum of opposites swing from one extreme to the other. Currently, the world-dream aspect of this Grand Dream is experiencing a ‘wild-ride’ as one extreme dissolves into a relatively ‘balanced’ phase between these opposites. While a dream is just a dream … where this body-mind-identity called ‘me’ that YOU ‘as’ the ONE SELF have temporarily taken on, comes into ‘contact’ with these destructive illusions and suffering is apparent, compassion [in whatever way] is the response that best represents the inherent Love that the ONE SELF/YOU ‘is’.
