The personal ego reality will always have a quick answer to everything experienced. Conditioned thought patterns from years past set in memory are what the ego relies on to validate any experience. The initial or first validation is that I am a “me,” a person. The “I am” is the ego’s root belief structure for any activity and experience. Even if some clarity has been gained in realizing the self as a non-physical being, there will still be a sense of personal “I am” because the physical body exists and is the vehicle through which conscious awareness functions.
Ever-increasing clarity is needed to break down old beliefs and thought patterns. Habituation and integration of a new or more actual reality over time accomplish this higher awareness. Nonetheless, the person and formative conditioning remain but are seen as an illusion, the play, and the display of continued life.
Thought pattern after thought pattern continues; you can’t stop them, but you sure are not doing them. They arise from your subconscious connection to your eternal self and the self of others, the collective.
The start of reconditioning beliefs and behavior would be getting past the idea that “what exists at this moment is not good enough.” Through the subtlest form of judgment, the ego/mind creates this illusion of dissatisfaction with the present moment—comparing it to expected other moments it labels as better.
The paradox of change, when referenced from the ego/mind seeking an alternative to the present moment, is that the more we try to change, the more we stay the same. The more we notice and stay embodied with and present to where we are, the more our potential for integration of all perceived change arises.
Oneness implies that as it is, this moment is complete, and to do something on behalf of Oneness, to become another or better Oneness, is a flaw of the ego/mind. There is nothing to do, nothing to accomplish. Oneness is harmony in seeing everything as it is, representing what should be.
No judgments or projections disturb our perception of the natural flow of life unfolding at any moment. It is all consciousness, one wholeness of consciousness in motion. There is only one continuity of being: the Self-expression in multitude within the point value of infinity as a personal/universal reality of creation.
It is just awake-ness here. What is awake-ness waiting for to recognize? That you are it! All of this is no other than the Self. All this does not equal me, but none is without the Self. To feel comfortable, you must know and own your skin thoroughly. We are talking about knowing oneself intimately, spiritually, and physically.
