I had a strange mystic experience early in my spiritual Awakening. In these days I received messages of Oneness in the form of Massachusetts license plates just as many of you perhaps receive little nods of the Universe in number sequences like 11:11, 4:44, etc., or serendipitous happenings. One day I saw a license plate of a by-going car that had a message behind a message behind a message. Just like a chess player who attempts to calculate his own and his opponent’s next ten moves, I had to close my eyes to receive it and felt my head was ready to implode.
In chemistry we know that water turns to steam when the heating temperature reaches 100 degrees Celsius. From physics we know that matter is energy in a denser vibration. Likewise, we are all the same. It’s just that some of us vibrate at a higher energy whereas others still have to let go of what they are not. “You can’t handle the truth,” Jack Nicholson screams at Tom Cruise in the movie “A Few Good Men.” Likewise, not everyone has quite reached the purity and simplicity to receive Oneness’ downloads, and it’s occasionally life’s job to burn the inner interferences away.
We are all the same even though we appear different, and we are all on the same path to melt in the ocean of Oneness even though we in reality already are That. Beauty is when the “you” is not. Nisargadatta Maharaj puts this insight in the following way, “On the inside I am nothing. On the outside I am love, and between the two my life turns.” Accept whatever life brings wholeheartedly. You have been launched on this pressure washing tour to be in the shape to receive Oneness’ mind-blowing truth. What we are seeking we already are. Let’s let go of what we are not.
