    Wow, so comprehensive. It blew “me” away (the walls). Yet you reassure so nicely WE are still there!

    That trickiness of “others” now being unconscious (instead of stealing, or being arrogant, or not driving fast enough) is so great to be reminded of. Even if I see another suffering, it’s because I’m not awake to separateness being believed “here” (“my” suffering projected on that poor person). “Unfulfilling” is a great summation, reminding me again, “what am I, this experiencing, feeling?”

    I’m curious about “given us as a tool to survive”. (Oh, and I just got the parallel to “military-industrial complex!) Do you mean that even the dreaming had to be given its parameters in order to play itself out (and so the survival mechanisms as well for the units and for their society)? Therefore allowing the awaking experience(s) from the dreaming “when the time comes”?

    Giving place to our “resisted” (exhaustion) seems really important. Just like our poor and sick in society (including spiritually unconscious!), we probably could see our personal “flaws” instead as our saviors. Of course that’s the perception flip, it’s not “mine” and THEREFORE I can look at it and learn from it. But supporting each other with these reminders makes for a lot less exhaustion. And maybe makes the character’s attempted “positive” spiritual practices lighter and so more “doable”, just ONE with the “flaws”!

    THANK YOU for this gift.

    Always you(rs), Mike

    Thank you, Mike. The relative and necessarily biased way it’s seen over here is that there is no agenda for the reality to wake up to itself. It just happens, we could say by pure luck but it can’t be otherwise. It seems to me that the sense of separation and self-identification is clearly observable in animals as well so from that comes the assumption that this way of seeing must be hardwired into our brains. We’re simply predisposed to see ourselves as separate entities and this predisposition has evolved over the millions of years. But I might be wrong, wouldn’t be the first time or the last time.

    But the point is that even that is just a story about the past and even though it counts, it is totally inconsequential to you.

    Hi Adam and Mike,

    This is a fascinating topic. Sometimes I wonder if what I observe in other “individuals” is just a projection of my own consciousness. Perhaps water finds its own level? Perhaps I see that others seem to have a sense of individuality because that’s what I feel for myself. And if I gained more clarity, perhaps I’d see that everyone was way ahead of me, that they all knew they were Oneness. They appeared to the Kathleen mind as being as unenlightened as she is, perhaps so she wouldn’t feel so far behind or so alone. Oneness is compassionate!

    Before I met Fred and all of you, I thought awakening was a very rare event, reserved for only the very few highly spiritually advanced. I figured I had a least 50 lifetimes more to go before even getting close. But now I see people, ordinary people, who are waking up all over the place. I don’t think it’s luck that I fell into the world’s non-dual community. And I don’t think people are awakening at a faster rate than before. I think I am perceiving more awakened beings because I am more awake. So if I were to gain a very high level of clarity, perhaps this perception that others are “hardwired” to see themselves as individuals would disappear. They’d all be laughing at and with me (even the animals), saying, we were all always awake, and just waiting patiently for you to join us!

    ❤Kathleen

    Incredible article. Love these words:

    It might seem there is no way out. And that is true. There is no way out. You cannot escape what you’re not caught up in. You cannot save yourself from something that is not a threat. In truth, the energy you spend trying to escape is the very energy that holds the whole thing together.

    I found myself breathing out. Every reminder to come back to singularity is priceless.
