DESTINY

We live and we are.

Our separation and aloneness is finite and limited.

Our core of awareness is not called into question by any ticking clock.

Our destiny is a return to the all bearing gift of personal experience.

Individual existence is like a wave on the surface of all.

The wave was not; now it is, and then it will be gone, but the water is saved.

Life flows on through awareness.

Awareness is reality we experience.

Awareness is the rain and the rose and the scent of the rose and the prick of the thorn.

All of us are aware and for each of us our awareness is central.

If I am, I am as my awareness.

Awareness is primary, before matter, before flesh and stone, even before mind.

Awareness is; awareness exists in our universe, that is real.

That we are aware is the most astonishing and fair essence of truth.

Awareness is living experience.

Each of us lives in life and being.

Reality is directly experienced

Direct experience is our guide to what is.

What we see, we see; what we hear, we hear: touch, touch; taste, taste; smell, smell.

What we think is truly what we think.

Awareness is also a boundary

Boundaries divide and they connect.

Seeing a blue sky is a boundary between self and sky.

Seeing blue sky connects self and sky.

Seeing blue sky is also awareness, prior to the self which sees and to the sky which is seen.

Awareness prior to any boundary may be called unitary awareness.

Unitary awareness is prior to the separation of self and other.

Unitary awareness connects self and other.

Unitary awareness is a single essence, prior to any separation.

Unitary awareness is the living current.

The content of unitary awareness may be called all.

All is connected in unitary awareness.

All includes everything, even separation is included in all.

Everything is connected in the union of all.

Thus all is one and all is aware.

We are all connected in union and eventually identical.

Begin with the all.

Fulfilled.

The all is of itself; there is no other.

The all has no boundary, the void.

In the timeless world of all, nothing can be lost.

The primordial being of stars and galaxies has connection in the all, and meaning thereby.

In separation entities occur, eventually we are born.

Where we are.

In personal experience.

In common words.

In the midst of awareness.

Surrounded by awareness.

Separation induces awareness, like an elastic band between the parts.

Separation occurs because there is nothing in the void to stop it.

Human separation from the union of all becomes a light for the void..

Awareness is the connection of separation.>

In awareness there is also unity.

Unitary awareness.

Awareness is connection.

The force of awareness pulls the separated back together, as love.

As separate we are incomplete and need love, the arrow of connection.

Love is the connection of awareness between beings both separated from the all.

In separation we have self.

Self holds on to self.

Self held hard becomes distant from acceptance of the all.

Thus there can be difficulty in the transition to the all.

Dying can be difficult.

There are gateways for the change.

Love is the key to the gates.

Within separation, the all rests behind us.

We come from the all and we return to the union of all.

Love and death are the breathing of the all.
