This realisation is experiential not intellectual - it’s a felt-sense, a living truth. It’s here, now, this… without a second. The mind overlooks or over analyses it. Come out of mind/intellect and here it is - it’s already the case. It can’t be reduced to or represented by symbols, concepts or ideas it has to be realised (actualised/lived) now… and now.
So does the living realisation of this truth produce the liberated state that is so hyped up in spiritual circles? The answer is not so straightforward. This living realisation is not a cure for phenomenal limitation. It's the realisation that there is only this however this appears. With this comes the certainty that there is nothing that needs to be done, to be discovered, to be resolved in order for completeness to be the case*. Whatever you do, however you do it is already the perfect expression of existence/oneness. The energy and strain that goes into the task of attaining wholeness dissolves, the present moment becomes energised and an underlying sense of okay-ness results.
Yet life goes on as before. The dynamic play unfolds complete with body-minds and their dispositions/inclinations which are often deep-seated and hardwired into the survival matrix of the organism. Many of these mechanisms are impossible to dislodge and will continue throughout the lifetime of the organism. Seeing that the organism is simply the play of Source will not dissolve many of these tendencies since they are not the result of the delusional belief in separation in the first place, they are properties/products of the natural world.
This insight gives unconditional permission to be as you are.
* Of course, there may be plenty to do regarding our phenomenal/functional expression. We may want to improve or develop ourselves for personal, social and ethical reasons etc.

That only applies to those who believe there is somewhere to get. For those who dont believe that, those mechanisms, or anything else for that matter, dont have to be dislodged.
Those who despair when presented with tasks to complete should therefore not be overly discouraged and can consider (with their minds:) The Direct Approach.:)
