Separation


Separation is a funny concept. And, that is all that it is, a concept created by the false self or the little story of me. It is truly an act of violence that the false self perpetrates on the world. The false self wants to create disunity in the universe so it creates separation. It wants to keep the story of “me” alive so, it has to create “others” in order for there to be a me. It is violent because it is a form of rejection on the level of the story. It is saying that “that” is separate from this story. But what it wants us to believe is that “that” is separate from this present awareness. It is only separate from the story. How can anything be apart from this present awareness?? It can’t. It is the unmovable, the unmolestable, and the undeniable suchness that is “THIS.”
Short moments of resting in this present non-conceptual awareness will allow the story to die. So, as we sit in present awareness, where is the separation? Where are the boundaries? There are none! They are only concepts created by the false self. They are only little stories that we call, others, labels, names, occupations, people etc… They have no truth except to the story. And what is the story? Nothing more than a fairy tale told by the false self. It has nothing to do with who we truly are. We are not a story, or a concept. We are part of the flow of life that is this present awareness, which has no stories, no concepts, no boundaries, and no separation. They don’t exist.
