The Beautiful and Solid Truth

I am breaking free from the illusion of separation. Nothing has caused me greater suffering than this idea. The idea of self sufficiency is such a trap. The idea that I have to figure everything out on my own, accept no help from others, become the creator, dictator, and the experiencer all in one. What a horrible reality. Tyranny. The idea that I have to be the best and prove it. An identity found in self declaration. We have managed to turn ourselves inside out.
I am part of a web, and there are many of us. There is life in everything. Everything moves towards integration and oneness. The reason why you feel so terrible when you are alone is because you are love, and love is about the relationship between things. You are designed to be connected. And you are connected, whether you try to cut yourself of from that reality or not. How does an artist discover the art or the musician the music? They tap into what is already there. They recognize what's inside and outside and they allow it to flow through themselves. They realize there's no destination so they just go with it. The let it stop and start wherever it needs to, because there's no need for control. Control is an illusion. Control stops the movement. Control is a snapshot of a moving reality. Once you take the picture, it's no longer the truth, because the truth has changed, it's moved forward, and if you spend too much time looking at that snapshot of perfection or rightness or whatever, you miss what's happening, what's evolving, and you move further and further away from the truth. Because the truth moves away from you, and you are stuck back there with the picture of then.
The spirit is always moving. And so are we. And the images and the pictures, they distract. They aren't so good for us. They keep us away from the NAU. Or the now. It's hard to learn this, these days. Because we're so fragmented. We see the truth from one picture and we say "oh there it is" and then again in another and say "oh there it is" and we try to understand the truth by collecting snapshots of it, never recognizing that the truth is within and around us and moving all the time. We try to hold it in our minds alone, when it's in everything, and must be experienced as a complete whole. We are already this way when we are children, we just are. We are free.
The fragmented mind is an uncomfortable thing. The mind in the One or the Living One is life. Learning to stay in the One is the skill that each of us is learning to master. We are all awakening to this reality beneath and preceding the illusion we have built up collectively that is making us so unhappy. It brings me great peace to know that after the breakdown is the discovery of beautiful and solid truth.
