The belief in separation is at the core of the manifested universe and all that ‘seems’ to be within it. These temporary and ever-changing holographic projections generate endless stories as the ‘contrast’ effect of opposites play off one another.
These stories play out on a stage of illusions … dreams that sway like a pendulum between what the mind [the false self] calls light and dark [good and evil]. These highs and lows act like a roller coaster teeter-tottering between happiness and sorrow and these extremes bring about an exhilaration that is highly seductive. We witness this as the limitless struggles for ‘things’ and ‘circumstances’ to somehow ‘get better’. This relentless upward climb [so it seems] dominates everyone’s life experience who is trapped in repeating ‘loops’ of illusions.
While this can appear very discouraging, it is this dance of contrasts that eventually leads to the total frustration with the Grand Dream sculpted by an infinity of stories. When this frustration reaches a crescendo an inner question occurs that “there must be a better way”. When this question comes about and is truly sincere a portal of Light [direction] opens that guides the hapless dreamer HOME to Truth … to the ONE SELF they Really Are Who has been slumbering in an endless maze of stories that revealed ITs infinite potential.
