Oneness

I wrote this not long ago to express my own experience, but I hope it can resonate with others to be a gentle reminder that have forgotten their true home, for those who are struggling with hard times and need hope, or for any reason this may call to you. The deepest desire I have is eternal peace for all beings. Love - Oneness
The Author and His Book
The author writes an autobiography. He takes no breaks, no time off, and writes 24/7. Because of this, he is able to write down every single experience that happens to him while it is happening.
For a time, the author becomes so invested in his work that he forgets he is the one writing the book. The thoughts and emotions he writes down during this time repeat themselves. There are times he briefly remembers that he is the one writing, but that doesn’t stop him from becoming lost again in his story.
After writing for countless years, and by some act of Grace, he is able to stop writing for a moment. Somehow, the book continues to be written. During this time, he fully remembers that he is the author and not the book being written. Immense love, joy, and peace arise within him because he no longer has to suffer the struggles of the story that has already been written. The weight of the story was released in knowing himself as the author. He then observes the book writing itself.
After observing for some time he gets pulled back into his story, but this time he can never forget that he is the author. Every experience that gets written down in the book leaves no stain on the author, although every experience happens to him. He continues to read about heartbreaks, tragedy, sadness, and frustration, but he experiences great peace while reading. This peace comes from knowing he is the author of the book, and that although he is reading about himself - it is only a story.
