THE NEXT TRUTH

Not only at the mental level, even at the deeper level of consciousness, the deeper we go, the deeper we are connected. In Existence, there is no such thing as a separate individual identity. Once we know this truth, we will go beyond pain, suffering, depression and disease. Understand that as long as we hold onto the concept of individual consciousness, we will be continuously suffering, physically or mentally or on the being level. Why do we continuously resist Nature? Whatever Nature offers, we resist. When the weather is cold, we resist. We think we are different from Existence. I never thought that I was different from the atmosphere, never had the feeling of separation from Nature. It is only when we think that we are different from the atmosphere, from the air around us that we resist it. You see, we are a part of the Whole. If we fall in tune with the Whole, the Whole behaves as a friend.

The moment we think,
discriminate or behave with the
Whole in the opposite way, it acts
like an enemy. Be very clear, the
Whole is not here to kill or destroy
us. An example is what happens
when a person dies of drowning.
The dead body floats. The dead
body is heavier than water. Yet, it
floats. But, a living body that is
lighter than water, does not float.
It drowns. Why is this so? As long
as we are living, we are unable to
relate with water. Our ego
prevents that. Our mind prevents
that. In the dead body, there is no
mind and no ego. It is the mind
and ego that causes our heaviness.
When we are in completion with
the collective consciousness, when
we become a part of collective
consciousness, Nature is our friend

When we think that we are different from Nature, as long as we think that we are an individual consciousness, Nature protests against us. If we disappear into the collective consciousness, we are protected and taken care of. We attain complete success, not only socially and economically, but we experience it as well. It will be a feeling of fulfillment, an experience of complete completion. We don’t realize that merging with the collective consciousness will liberate us in totality. We resist and hold on to ourselves. As long as we do not disappear into the collective consciousness, we continuously create hell for ourselves and for others.
