You, me, everyone we practically know, is fractured. Not broken, segmented. We think in parts, not wholes. We act upon the fragments scattered before us without recognizing the intricate pattern to the puzzle is wholeness.<\/p>\n
Husband, wife, partner, parent, child, adult, brother, sister, father, mother, boss, employee, waitress, cook, manager, teacher, student, pastor, clergy, prophet, nurse, counselor, friend, enemy, extrovert, introvert, artist, writer, lawyer, doctor, teller, clerk, housekeeper, gardener, chauffeur, mechanic, carpenter, handyman, electrician, plumber, believer, agnostic, on and on it goes. Segments of an identity we can\u2019t bring ourselves to coalesce simply because the thought of being pigeon-holed frightens us.<\/p>\n
There is a life beyond the divisions we have conjured up. There is reality that doesn\u2019t care about your perfectly manicured fa\u00e7ade. There is a union, a one-ness, a whole-ness waiting for you to drop your multi-ness, your one-upmanship in variety. <\/p>\n
Most, regrettably, will never aspire to lose the multiplicity to inhibit the limitless simply because they must have borders, lines of demarcation, defined roles and mores. Duality, the constant ebb and flow towards diametric agendas pushes the delineation to identity, to homeostasis within groups, tribes, cultures, societies. Duality defines the divide, emphasizes the importance and neglect of our ruptured lifecycles.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026let them be one as we are one\u2026\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n Duality will not permit the mentality of one. It abhors the vacuum left in its wake. Mono-anything is aghast within the domain it perpetuates. It is not who you are, more than what you\u2019ve always been and will forever be. Being, not doing. The king is fully naked, and is comfortable in that awareness, without having to put on the gambled garments of respectability to be a king. <\/p>\n Your life, your will, your freedom, your exclusions, your inclusion, your agenda, your motives, your aspiration, all of the multiple streams of influence you wield and exert to arrive at who you believe yourself to be, all of it not only for you but for the entire race of humanity, lies in the one truth which permeates every molecule and atom in the cosmos: You are greatly loved and there is nothing you can do to change that. This is the life beyond the divide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You, me, everyone we practically know, is fractured. Not broken, segmented. We think in parts, not wholes.
