Hello Seekers
Waking up within the illusion takes a special effort, just as a person who has overslept and slumbers on we have to reach for consciousness, and to strive for it, and this also is part of the lessons of this illusion.


What causes fear and panic to grasp the heart is to not see the illusionary aspect of life.
Large dramas are being played out within this illusion. Soldiers are taking orders, weapons being aimed, bullets flying. Tempers flare in cities, poverty sticks its face in the camera, and many are so involved defending and fighting and plotting, they have not noticed that the backdrop, has been ever so slowly fading, and a new backdrop is emerging.

What is that something intangible, like a slight whiff of hope? The play seems less important, and some are just beginning to lift their heads and look around them, because some of the dialogue seems ludicrous. There is the feeling of delivering similar lines before, and a need to take off the mask and live in a world where there are no masks. A smile is creeping across this planet. It is not a broad grin, but it is there, just at the corners of the mouth.

For shock gives way to amazement, as the mind begins to rise above the illusion, instead of being deeply engrossed within it. The further away one goes, the less the illusion holds one to this reality.

Hanging over the circle of the earth, there are no shouts of dismay, no shaking fists, no threats of ruin, no deprivation, no blame, and there is peace, but as a wise man once said. You did not come to this earth to seek peace, but to seek a sword, so that you might learn the woes of picking up the sword against your brother. So that when you finally bring about your own peace you will fully appreciate the mysteries and wonders of the Oneness of all things.

You came here to learn that you are One with each other, and One with the cosmos, and when you have seen enough examples of ignorance you will learn wisdom.

Tossing away the illusion means seeing that humans carry around their own heavens right in their minds, as well as their own hells, and it is the abode of greed and malice, or it is the paradise of joy. We are the creators of our own destiny as we forge the path and we lay the stonework. Those who see the illusion are happy in finding their power to create, since there is no longer anyone else to blame. Finally, even self- blame is seen as an illusion within the play.

A student cannot be blamed for not knowing. Blame is shattered into a million pieces and scattered on the ashes of the past, duality comes crashing in, as the black pole and white pole melt into One.


For those still caught in the illusion, they play with conviction and gusto. They muster all their deep emotions to invest in the illusion of power and rank. As divided they go, striking at themselves, harming, maiming, killing, conquering, abusing themselves. Great and awesome are these illusions and powerful is the magic upon the minds of those who believe so deeply.

Those who see the illusion can add a few words to the famous quote of the master teacher Jesus, as they say, Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do to themselves. For what you do to others you do to me and to you and to the One.
