What do you know for sure? I don't mean facts, empirical knowledge. I mean Truth, beyond mere belief, gnosis , which is direct knowing. There is no way that the mind, the tool of empirical knowledge, can reach gnosis, which is the unity of the individual and the Infinite, Consciousness Itself.What "I" know is that I Am One , Universal Consciousness. This is our true identity in Unity as the Omnipresent Consciousness. As individual forms, human beings, of course we are this one and that one, but we are transformed by gnosis in unity.
The "first born" from Unity Consciousness, from transcendence as Source or Creator, into individuality as "this one"...the primordial manifestation from the causal plane of pure Being into doing or creating...is LOVE. The very impulse to create, once established in true identity as Creator- here- now ...is motivated by LOVE.
This is not the romantic love of personal attachment but the inevitable manifestation of unity consciousness into individual forms. Knowing we are One Consciousness gives birth to Universal Love in all our relationships.Surrender of identification with ego is the "transitional" phase in this birthing process.But this can not be done by the ego. Ego manages our "worldly affairs", but this surrender is a spiritual matter...a transcendence of "matter" and ego's concerns.
For some, ego must be at the "end of its rope"...despairing of worldly vanities and the whole gamut of conflicts as "separate identities". For others their Path of spiritual intent finally delivers them into the grace of gnosis like the dawn of a new day after a mercifully short "dark night of the soul".One way or another our destiny is to outgrow the petty limitations of our egocentric identities and become conscious of this omnipresent consciousness... Who we truly are!
