Taking a break, contemplating the nature of life...
There's really NO separation, NO duality...there is only my true Self as manifestation of the One Spirit or God - as is everything and everyone else. That is the one TRUTH, the mystery that never changes no matter what language you use to try and describe it...although I love the way Jesus and Buddha break it down :-)
But I've learned to appreciate my humanity, my ego self. And I'm learning to appreciate the humanity in others. The ideas and concepts in the books I read are really just ways to play with my humanness with more freedom, more joy, more love... and give that away. When they no longer are needed and I can rest in the truth, I set them aside...again and again.
At least until I get completely annoyed by the guy snoring next to me at Barnes & Noble...really?? I guess this is called "compassion practice"...
Peace.
