Whatever you are experiencing – thinking, feeling, sensing, perceiving – that experience is accompanied by the experience of being. The ‘I am’ shines quietly but brightly in the midst of all experience. Every experience is a colouring of being, just as every movie is a colouring of the screen. Being is like water in wine; whatever you drink, you are really drinking water. Whatever you experience, you are really experiencing being. The world never actually veiled its reality – all there is to the world is its reality. It is our belief that the world is other than infinite being that makes it seem to veil. People find it hard to access reality not because it is nothing but because it is everything. Your being extends beyond the body – it is the one infinite being from which everyone and everything borrows their existence. The recognition that we share our being with everyone and everything is love.
