All One...
Try this.
Imagine, there is only one:
“Out of The Whole came The Whole,
and The Whole remained, The Whole.”
Now drop the the capitals:
we are all, one.
No one better; no one worse;
just different and unique manifestations
of the unformed.
Imagine, everything we think is just an attitude
formed by the people and circumstances
of our upbringing.
Jews think Jewish; Christians Christian; Muslims Muslim;
Agnostics, Atheists… all just ideas - and distorted.
All of them. Any idea is a restriction.
See if, just for a moment, you will detach yourself
from the idea of yourself. Don’t be anybody. Empty.
Look around you.
Detach from the idea that you are separate,
and melt. Un/non-seriously.
See? Much more fun that way isn’t it!
Sending love to you Sugito, and all...
