One of the realities we find most difficult to face is the truth that everything begins and ends in our own mind. Our belief in separation is the deepest belief that we hold. The belief that we live inside a bubble of skin and ego is very hard to release.
A sense of identity based around a separate struggling ego trying to survive in a hostile and precarious universe is ingrained in us from a very early age. This is the original sin, this is what we pass from generation to generation, a belief in separation. This is how we as the human race miss the mark.
We have been sundering ourselves from the oneness of all things generation after generation. This is why we eat by the sweat of our brow, this is why our lives are full of struggle and fear, because in our minds we have separated ourselves from the rest of the universe.
Our redemption consists in a restoration of our connectedness with the whole universe and our responsibility as a node of consciousness within that universe to play our part in its creative evolution in harmony.
The source of our problems, both as individuals, and as a race are quite simple. It is our belief in separation. When enough people in the world believe wholeheartedly in their connectedness with all things then our lives individually and collectively will be transformed.
