Being Knows Nothing of Separation

Before we know anything about ourselves, before we know we are a person, we know that we are. The same is true of others and objects – awareness of being is our primary experience. If we do not allow thought and perception to impose their limits, being is a single, infinite, indivisible whole. Refracted through thought and perception, it appears as multiplicity. Thoughts, feelings and perceptions back each other up in a conspiracy of separation – the consequence is sorrow on the inside and conflict on the outside. The remedy can only come from understanding the unity that underlies appearances; the common name for this is love. Peace and happiness are the nature of your being, and you share your being with everyone and everything. Don’t live from what the mind tells you; live from what the heart tells you – by ‘heart’, I mean being. Being knows nothing of separation. It is one, whole, at peace.
