Looking through the illusionary self identity

 Thoughts, feelings, emotions are not separate from each other, as it appears. They are intertwined and embedded in the environment that unfolds in our life. Even this apparently separate environment that we experience is embedded in one interdependent body, mind, world matrix. Can we become skilled enough to make this matrix our oyster, or is the purpose of this matrix to simply be experienced, to learn our lesson, and then move on? Is perhaps the sole purpose of this life experience to help us wake up from it?

 

What is enlightenment? The feat to leave this observable universe behind and become part of this Force that contains it but isn’t affected by it? Is enlightenment the ability to be part as witnessing consciousness without succumbing to the illusion of personhood? These are all big questions but the straightforward next step is to perceive this Oneness of body, mind, world and to look through the illusionary self identity.
