“ONENESS IS ALL IN HERE AND NOW.”

Oneness is not something that we, as individuals, must cooperate to create; rather, it is the pure presence itself that exists right here, right now.

And that is the true nature of impersonal consciousness.

If you cannot see, recognize, or understand this, it is proof that the self you currently identify as “you” (“I”)—and the world you perceive—have already been distorted from their true nature by assumptions, rigid beliefs, and closedness.

In other words, what obstructs the truth is not some uncooperative person, nor the experiences you view as obstacles; it is the very perception you hold of “self,” “world,” and “others.”

When the narratives of “I” and “us” that obscure the truth—along with various unconscious attachments, projections, and interpretations of experience—are gently revealed through insight gained by seeing oneself as awareness truly is (with the clarity and openness of innermost stillness), each illusion inevitably falls away and dissolves, allowing the truth to naturally reveal itself.

This is never something achieved or acquired through the desperate efforts of “I” or “us”—nor through struggling against oneself (or against others perceived as “evil”).

Directly knowing this Oneness—while there is no “knower” present—is what represents the spiritual awakening of consciousness; it is never a matter of the “I” or “us” awakening through the possession of spiritual knowledge.

Furthermore, this truth is something understood in that very moment—immediately, which is prior to thought—as an unmistakable sense of pure presence.

In other words, it is not something to be found on “some future day” after “I” have improved through effort, nor is it an imagined future where everyone cooperates to build world peace; rather, it is something that already exists here and now.

The clarity found in the innermost stillness allows awareness to see purely—as “That”—without being swayed by preconceptions or judgments. It is possible when awareness sets aside rigid beliefs (such as “I cannot get what I need without effort”) and other assumptions, and when there is no longer a “perceiver” present to label the experience as “stillness” or “clarity.”

Above all, the first step is to notice that awareness is addicted to thinking.

Through this recognition, it will be easier to break free from that addiction, with practice of remaining as awareness.

However, remain carefully aware that the mind (the “I,” thought, or the ego)—which is held by the unconscious belief that “something is missing from ‘me’”—can easily latch onto realizations, insights, or sensations as “mine.” It tends to construct a narrative (an illusion) interpreting the experience as if “I” had achieved something spiritual, and then readily becomes immersed or addicted to that fantasy.

At the same time, as such realizations and insights deepen (through continued practice), awareness as openness will begin to see—with greater vividness into deeper depth—assumptions and attachments that had previously gone unnoticed.

Eventually, a moment may arrive when awareness will be able to recognize the very act of indulging in the narrative of “I,” which has done unconscioisly as autopilot, and that moment will be the instant in which awareness truly comprehend that “there is no self.” (OM 🙏)
