🌌 The Illusion of Separation
Published: September 22, 2025
We grow up believing we are separate — a body here, a world out there, a God somewhere above. This idea of division feels natural because our senses seem to confirm it. Eyes draw boundaries, ears hear sounds apart from silence, and the mind labels everything as “this” or “that.”
Yet separation is only a trick of perception. Just as waves appear different while belonging to the same ocean, our lives are expressions of one indivisible awareness. The wave may rise and fall, but the water remains whole.
The conflict begins when we forget the water and identify only with the wave. We compare, we compete, and we suffer — all because we believe we are cut off from the source that gives us life. But this is only a shadow on the wall, not reality itself.
When the illusion fades, what remains is Oneness: indivisible, eternal, and already complete. From this view, the struggle between “light” and “shadow” isn’t a battle between two powers, but the dance of one power showing itself in contrast.
To realize this is not an escape from life, but a return to it. You don’t stop being a person with joys and sorrows. Instead, you see them as movements within something vast, unbroken, and untouched. The drama of separation loses its grip because you know the truth behind it: you were never divided.
Separation is the dream. Wholeness is what wakes up.
