as I learn so do you

Your journey is also mine. Together we learn and together we grow. We cannot do this is as separate individuals for that is not what we are. We must be as one or here in this flesh we shall remain.

This flesh is a barrier, keeping us from ourselves. We are attached to the flesh because we are taught that this is who we are. We look into the mirror and we think we see ourselves. This is not so.

Believe me when I say that I am learning this as much as anyone else. I easily forget, as many have forgotten, but there are none who do not know. Somewhere in there we know what we are but we become so lost in the flurry of thinking that we lose our way; or we think we do.

We are not those thoughts and we are not the one who observes those thoughts. We are the one who observes the observer and the one of whom we are unaware as long as we remain here within the flesh. We are without the senses and we are only one thing surrounded by nothing else. We are the I am.

There is nothing in this world of skin that holds meaning. There is no symbol of God. There are no ghosts. There is no alien race. None of this is real. All of this is a creation designed to keep us here, in the flesh; to keep us wondering and to keep us distracted.

There is beauty here, to be certain, but it pales in comparison to what is real; what we are. Besides, any beauty we are able to find is always tainted by sadness in some way. There is always the polarity that keeps us from ever truly feeling the purity of such beauty. There is always the yin to keep us in the yang. There cannot be one without the other, except in the truth where there is neither.

There can never be healing as long as we believe in the flesh, for true healing happens elsewhere, if it happens at all. There can never be wholeness as long as we believe we are apart from one another. How can we be whole and apart at the same time?

We are very attached to the body we believe we inhabit but we are not really in there at all. We are not the body that we believe we see out of. We are not any other body, either. We are not here. The soul, even, is an illusion for we believe it resided within the walls of skin, which it does not. There is only one soul and it resides in Heaven and it is God for it is one with God and all else that is true and real.

I was recently reading about this idea called the “walk in” where some believe that a body can become inhabited by a new soul and either coexist with the previous soul or somehow push out the previous soul all together. How can this be when there is only one soul in the first place? It cannot be.

Every person is inhabited by the same soul. There cannot be two.

As I discover so do you. As you discover so do I. We are one and so we make this journey together; this journey, which is no journey at all for we have already arrived in that we have never left at all. As I find comfort so do you. As you find comfort so do I.

Do not let yourself be attached to what you see in the mirror. Look yourself in the eyes and know that, once you have gone, you will not see that face again. You are not that face, which changes and sags with time. On the inside don’t you still feel the same as before? Then how can you be that body that shifts and stiffens? How can you be those cells which create an entirely new physical you over and over again through the years? How can you be that which will die and never be again? You are eternal and so you shall always be what you are now. You will always be the one that is complete and you will always be only pure.

You are never alone.

You will always be without the chaos of the mind and the emotion that tears you into pieces; lifting you up only to topple you again. You are always and steady in your true being. You are without fail and you cannot be anything but the perfection that is you.

You cannot hurt and you cannot be empty. You will always only ever be full and whole within the heart of God.
