Follow Me IN! Follow Me IN! Mental Body
Please be very clear that at the deep end of all these layers - that is in the nirvanic layer - God, you and I are one. There is no distance between us.
Let us go a little deeper into this truth. We all seem like different entities at the physical level. But what happens when you love someone intimately? His or her love and suffering affects you. It comes and goes out of your being. This is because, at a deeper level, there is no individual entity and each one of us is a part of the collective consciousness. Of course, you do not want the suffering. However, you cannot escape from the suffering. Have you noticed that whether it is physical pain, or mental suffering, or spiritual bondage, you get it again and again? This is because you are not aware that you are a part of the collective consciousness. Once you become aware and realize that you are a part of the collective consciousness, that you don't have an individual identity, you realize that you do not have a separate ego.
All of us think that we own our intellectual identity. However the simple truth is, in Existence, no such thing as a separate individual identity exists. Once we know this truth, we go beyond pain, suffering, depression and disease. Understand clearly that as long as we have this concept of individual identity, whether physically or mentally or at the being level, we will be continuously suffering. The moment we start thinking that we are an individual body that is separate from Existence, our whole body becomes our enemy.
You are a part, and everything is the Whole. If you fall in tune with the Whole, the Whole behaves as your friend. The moment you start thinking, discriminating or behaving with the Whole in opposition, it starts acting like an enemy. Remember, the Whole is not here to kill you or destroy you.
The Whole, the universe, is a hologram of which we are a part. Just as in a hologram, every single part of the hologram, even if split, reflects the totality of that hologram, we too reflect the totality of the Whole that is the universe.
The other day I read an interesting interview of this man who survived his jump into the Niagara Falls! This being an unusual
