Harmonious Being

Harmonious Being

From the farthest star in the cosmos to the tiniest subatomic particle in your body, there is a universally-present Intelligence which holds in equilibrium and harmony every iota of existence, external and internal. If you recognize that “you” cannot possibly be apart from this all-inclusive actuality, then you must also recognize that anything “other-than-you” is likewise imbued and affected.

This is not to say that one is to ignore that we have the capability of recognizing a particular named form, or entity, as compared to a dissimilar form: thus even the enlightened (such as Buddha or Ramana) occasion the relative terms “you” and “I,” and answer to their name. The point of the teachings of Oneness is to fully acknowledge in consciousness that there is an underlying interconnection in all of these forms of appearance, which supersedes seeming distinctiveness. Yes, there is a “me” and a “you”; but to what source do all manifested things owe their common existence? If this underlying nature of Beingness is not clear to you, not anything else which is said in the nondual teachings will ever make any sense to the seeker of jnana. However, if the aforesaid is clear to you, then you can surely recognize that everything which these apparent forms act out owes its existence to the ubiquitous Intelligence which informs every aspect of Being—including your being, and whatever it is that you are manifestly being.

Your “loop of thoughts and feelings” and perception “I am not good enough” are not somehow magically left out of this universal development of expressed Beingness. IT does not act out in (what you consider to be) a purely positive way: positive and negative are in existential harmony. You and all others are expressions of this Being—as is all that is done—whether you concede that this is so, or not.
