Unison, Oneness, Particle, Life, Death and Dying.

[Sippedeje]

When i was younger i often played “mindgames”, following a significant thought or statement in an outward or an inward motion. It never ceased to puzzle my mind thinking from absolute detail and ending in absolute infinity. Like the fact that some carbon molecules in my present body may also have been present in some prehistoric creature, like a T. Rex, or so,
and the very fact that stardust from ancient exploding stars traveling through time and space was part of building this planet and maybe present in my own body. And the notion that dust itself is life, a physical presence of consciousness manifesting itself in this world of forms, the fact that my body is a community of life forms living in their own universe with their own agenda, gathering in a controlled fashion to form the presence of a human being, Love being the factor connecting them, consciousness the thing to control their totality and the peculiar thing about death and dying: the consciousness leaving the body, and the body dissolving as a cause of loosing the main controlling principle: consciousness, leaving the multiple other life forms to their own way of being. Returning to dust. And returning from dust to a gathering of minerals and molecules in to a highly specialized conscious creature pondering on its own way of being. And the sun rays as the absolute premise for existence of any organic life form. some times i woke up from these mind games, puzzled and with a dim memory of something very important, something i experienced in a world far from this. In my later years it grew louder: the song of unconditional love creating and manifesting this fantastic physical universe we inhabit.
And so it is. There are only One. Consciousness though has the ability to focus itself, from identifying as the One to identifying with a small individualized aspect of the whole, momentarily we forget our origin and live as though we are isolated, separated, in opposition to, and away from the unity. In my understanding: this is how the One learns and experiences being conscious, taste, smell and feeling only happens when you are isolated. When you are in Unison all is good and Ok, nothing worries, as you are in harmony, what causes trouble is when you get stuck in either identity and forget about the other. Effortlessly shifting from Oneness to Particle and visa versa is in my understanding the desired natural states of being.
Living and dying are two opposing states of being, the one impossible without the other.
From my personal experience i know the nature of decease and being sick, the nature of fear and guilt, and how healing it is to receive comfort when you are in danger of dying, or how hartbreaking it is to give comfort to a dear one who is being terminate ill from a deathly decease. We tend to mix the reasoning and understanding with the experience of being who one are. You can not give comfort to someone being a terminate patient by explaining the law of cause and effect to them, that will only make them feel guilty and miserable. What you can do is placing yourself in their opposite position: experience the timelessness and the condition of Oneness, the state of Love unlimited and in that state, hold their hand look deep in to their eyes and transfer your state of inner peace and harmony and love to them, accept the condition totally without wishing to change anything, accepting what is, and that, my friend may cause one of two: they may heal from their condition or they may accept their condition and die in dignity, according to their own ability to accept what is and change focus from being sick to be healing. And so it is with your self: decease and terminal illness is a state of isolation, of being alone, afraid, feeling guilty, loosing connection with the eternal part of consciousness and totally disconnecting from the unconditional love that is causing your existence. And either way: you can release the state of being alive and die (a radical way of healing) or you can release the condition in your mind and body by letting go of fear and guilt, remembering the Oneness state and recover. I know: the latter is easier said than done! We have so much more experience as a species with the "growing old/sick and dying" aspect and not so much experience with the "altering our inner state of being and recovering" aspect. But, its absolutely worth the trying.
