As we awaken to the freedom and happiness that is out true nature, an undeniable truth becomes clearer and clearer: we, as the consciousness that we most fundamentally are, are part of an indivisible whole.
I, in my essence, am exactly the same as you in your essence, in other words. This is the unifying spiritual truth underlying all the great religions. We are one. It is like the ocean and the wave analogy. It the depths of our being, we are all part of the one ocean of consciousness, yet in our individuality, our uniqueness, we are like the waves, appearing separate and different, yet still a part of, an expression of, the one ocean that we are.
In fact, in the truest sense, when we awaken to the consciousness that we are, we realize our oneness, our interconnection with all life, and with all living things. Even the tiniest bug or beetle is an expression, in bug or beetle form, of the same consciousness that is in you and me.
This realization of oneness leads to a greater sensitivity to all of life, and to everything in our environment. It is the ground of unconditional love. The freer we are, the less “self” or ego there is in us, and the fewer conditions we place on our love.
We realize that love, as the flowering and expression of the human heart, is an inherent part of our true nature. We enjoy sharing our love with people, animals, all of nature and we share it generously, with kindness, patience, and gratitude…
