The Feeling Of Being Separate

It occurs that looking, searching for freedom from an apparent localized me, the little mind/body we call self through meaning and purpose, makes it seem missing. This missing aspect is the core experience of separation, and something needs to be done to overcome this feeling. Me, or the apparent experience I have, must become the freedom I am looking for. I am looking for the freedom I know I can have and own. I am looking, seeking this freedom through ownership. True freedom is beyond the limitations of meaning and purpose.

The fact is that this freedom is not about you. It has nothing to do with you. This freedom and perfection you may be looking for, or that constant sublime feeling that life is more than it appears, make it clear that there isn’t a person you. You, the apparent separate experiencer seeking completion for freedom and that something must happen or will happen to conclude, is all but the perspective of a personal mind. Although valid from that perspective, you are living in a dream world, thinking that this personal me will find it.

The ‘you’ as a person is nothing appearing as something playing an imaginary role in a life of already perfection. From the individual perspective, nothing has to change, even though change always occurs. The ‘you’ is not the person; there is only an apparent person, as natural as it may seem. In an absolute value, you are the container of nothing, the consciousness within and without this perfect dream of freedom.

So, from one perspective, it won’t stop. It never ends. On one level, the experience of being separate never ends. What ends or dawns is the perspective of wholeness, where the consciousness of Self is seen everywhere, underlying and permeating everything. And what appears in this freedom is that there isn’t a person you. Furthermore, there isn’t anything that needs to change; nothing needs to happen; this is already always perfect.
