Separation delusion
We can drop our stories, our labels and interpretations, we can drop our abstractions, memories and concepts, we can slow our thinking and just rest here… and something might become very obvious… THIS.
And then when we (inevitably) pick all that stuff up again we might notice something… it's still THIS. This inexplicable something-ness, this ‘event’ of existence, this be-ing-ness (more inadequate labels for this ineffable source.)
That there can be separation from this ‘ineffable source’ is a delusion. In fact no one has ever actually experienced separation - only a sense of separation.
The separation delusion occurs because Reality presents as individuation, variation and differentiation at every turn. Reinforced by our conditioning, thought and language from a very early age, we mistake this seamless presentation for a collection of fixed, enduring, independent objects.
But there are no such self-existing things. If we pay special attention we might grasp that there is simply this… and now this… expressing and modulating as the apparently separate forms of existence.
