Be still and know I am God

 The Self is like a pearl.

To find it you must dive deep down into Silence,

deeper and ever deeper until it is reached.

  Ramana Maharshi

 

I have two reactions to Donald Trump and his policies. Sometimes I get upset, and sometimes I don’t care either way. I just see him for what he is, as an agent of change.

 

It’s not about cutting off feelings in the attempt of being spiritual. It’s a switch instead that connects to a different inner vibration. It’s a step out of the familiar subject object perspective towards Oneness.

 

Non-duality teaches us to embrace a mental switch. It’s the understanding that there is a level beneath the subject object perspective. It’s the “Awareness is” perspective that we can grasp and connect to.

 

There is also energy, a simple on-switch of the inner energy centers, perhaps activated by deep breathing. It’s simply a different frequency we can tune into. Sometimes you feel that frequency in the air and “Awareness is” unfolds naturally.

 

I am not sure that we can consciously bring about that change in perspective from subject-object to Oneness, but we can be aware when the “I” goes on a trip of its own and just be mindful. There is always an internal flaw in the argument when that happens because where the “I” is, Oneness is not.
