One Infinite Undivided Whole
This bottomless present moment is fluid and ever-changing, yet it never moves away from the immediacy of here and now. The pattern-seeking mind conceptually divides, labels, categorizes, interprets and seemingly concretizes this ungraspable, unpindownable flow, creating a kind of virtual reality seemingly made up of solid, separate, independent, persisting things. These apparent things include bodies, minds, the world, and a self that is supposedly authoring our thoughts and making our choices. But does any of that hold up to careful scrutiny?
From where do our urges, desires, impulses, interests, preferences, abilities, thoughts and actions emerge? In exploring this, it may be discovered that all of them, and all apparently formed things, including people, are like waves in the ocean—ever-changing and inseparable movements of an undivided whole. Realizing this is the freedom to be just as we are, including our apparent abilities or inabilities to change, heal or correct things.
When we are hypnotized by the thought-sense of being small and separate from the flow of life, feelings of deficiency, anxiety and dissatisfaction inevitably follow. We search for certainty and something to grasp. But in holding on to nothing at all, there is immense openness and freedom.
In open unbound awareness, everything is seen from wholeness rather than partiality. In that unconditional love, there is both infinite potential and compassion for everything being just as it is. There is no separation, no division, no inside, no outside — only this infinitely varied, multidimensional unicity.
What is offered here invites firsthand exploration and direct discovery, not belief or dogma. There is no finish-line, no formula, no method, nowhere to go, only this one bottomless moment and this ever-fresh aliveness.
