What Does "Not Separate/Oneness" reference?

Sharon:
Hi Fea, I know we haven't spoke much but I just wanted to let you know that we have a no politics rule on this forum. It may have helped some men to keep the noise down in their heads over the years.

Muttley: God loves you, you are perfect exactly as you are, who or what "punches" or, "feels the blows", and, what is there to forgive?

One of the reasons that politics magnetizes negative energy is because we become convinced that something is true. Not "true" in the existential sense, but a relative, material truth. As gopal might say, "in the dream", as zd might say "a product of imagination". This sort of "truth" might seem related to 2+2=4, but real life is never as simple as that. You are right that the negativity is related to fear, but that doesn't happen the same way for everyone. There is a cliche that goes something like "don't compare your insides to another's outsides".

There are also a myriad of other social issues besides politics that will stir passion. For example, in the 1990's there was a debate among the developers of EMACS. One group supported the virtuous, commonsense premise that whitespace in files should be represented by the space character (ASCII x20), while a group of degenerate savages advocated for the folly of using the "tab" (ASCII x09). There are clever metaphors that can be used to demonstrate how truth can be a matter of perspective, but then the mind can fall into a sort of confusion where up is down, yes means no and hot means cold. This is disorienting, in part, because of the mechanics of our body/mind relative to what we think and feel is not our body/mind: for one thing, as the 'pilgrim can explain, mind does alot of "filling in the blanks". ZD sometimes refers to the term "meta-reality" (and again, gopal, like Enigma, uses the dream/dreamer metaphor). This is related to a common term you might recognize from current popular discourse: the "narrative". A recent user who has been scarce of late, inavalen, used to be fond of illustrating this with the occasional interesting optical illusion.

Sometimes, perspectives counter to the "narrative" that we are familiar with, can seem .. disconcerting. The theme here is transcendent of narrative, which doesn't mean that we, as a group, are invulnerable to the sort of negative energy vortex that constantly consumes much of popular culture, so, keeping politics private is just a practical consideration (and, interesting enough, is an inversion of the internet norm), and all this is just a long winded exposition of what Sharon already wrote about it. .. but then again, the early, non-military internet was dominated by sharing recipes. I shudder to think.

We start our journey believing ourselves to be individuals. This perception arises naturally because it seems like we are looking through our own eyes, seeing a tree over there and another person over here. However, we soon realize that our understanding is flawed; everything moves as one. At that moment, we understand that we are all interconnected. Initially, I thought there was a super consciousness linking all individual minds, orchestrating everything. But when I saw the truth—that the mind, informed by truth, changes reality—I understood that ‘All That Is’ is looking through our eyes. There is no separation like conscious, subconscious, or super consciousness. There is only ‘All That Is,’ perceiving through all points of view.

ZD:
Totally agree.

Tenka:
Spoken like a true individual .

Gopal, In India is there a holiday where you wear masks? But never mind, just lay down two masks in front of you, or imagine it, visualize it. Pick up one, lift to your face, look around. Put it down, lift the other to your face, look around. Tell me what you see.

This is what Reefs, and some others, have been trying to get you to see, for years.

Set the logical, categorizing mind aside, for some things.
