Oneness & Separation

Oneness and Separation seems to be opposites on the surface. Our Physical Realm that we live our Life in is a Realm of Duality. Duality does not mean 'opposites' as much as it means 'extremes'. Lets look at what I mean:

ONENESS:

Oneness is what the name implies, there is only ONE. Everything and everyone is a part of the ONE, there is no separation. We are all connected to each other and to everything else. Our BEING is a part of this wholeness of everything, there is no place for anything else.

This Being in the ONENESS is often experienced as LOVE (ecstasy), as we feel whole, connected, safe and empowered. It is from this state that we come from when we are BORN into this Physical Realm.

SEPARATION:

This Physical Realm is the realm of TWO (extremes). Why have we chose to be BORN into this Realm of TWO from the ONE? The fact that we are here means we have chosen to come here - Why?

It is here in the realm of TWO that there is room for the Individual and everything else. Here we are able to express our uniqueness (individuality). The challenge is how we express this uniqueness in the connection with everything else.

We often associate this realm of TWO with FEAR, as this BEING separate from the ONE is strange and foreign to us and we are not sure how to react. It is this FEAR that causes us to run back to the ONE. It is here that we have chosen to be BORN into. The first thing we need to realize is the fact that we are not as disconnected from the ONE as we BELIEVE.

In this Physical Realm we are only separate from the ONE in one critical area - PHYSICALLY. However, we are still connected to the ONE with our SPIRIT and ENERGY. Our SOUL (CONSCIOUSNESS) connects us to our Body and our Spirit. Our SPIRIT resides with the ONE, just like our BODY resides here in the TWO, we are still connected to the ONE. When we are awake we are here in the PHYSICAL (the TWO), when we are asleep and we DREAM we are in the SPIRIT realm with our Spirit (the ONE).



In this Realm of TWO the two extremes exist - Love is our connection to the ONE and Fear that is our disconnection from the ONE. These are the TWO EXTREMES. We need to find the BALANCE between these TWO in order to be able to EXPRESS OUR UNIQUENESS. It is this that we have come here to do.
