However, whatever learned intellectually, stayed in the head. The people I met, the events I experienced and the life I had were all a far cry from ONENESS! Why were there so much being shared as oneness, yet what I experienced were far from it?
What was missing?
There was just so much head knowledge. It was time to go within. Through Divine guidance, I was shown the way further into my heart. As I quiet my mind, I found myself in deep emptiness. I felt like water in a glass floating in a deep wide ocean. The ocean was huge. I was small compared to its vastness! How could I be with the ocean?
I was water, the ocean was water. What separated us was that glass! The "I" that defined ME! I was the good daughter, the hardworking employee, the serving wife, the loving mother, I was shy, I was quiet and whatever that defined ME as Who I Am. That was what that was holding me back!
I decided to discard the "I", the glass, and merged into the endless ocean. The feeling of oneness expanded. I became the ocean, the ocean became Me! The feeling was one no word could describe. However, how would I know I still exist in this vast deep ocean? I blobbed above the ocean, just like a water droplet jumping out of the sea. The moment I landed in the ocean, we became one again!
Then, came floating in the ocean were many water-bodies in various containers. Some in plastic bottles, some in glass bottles, and some in glasses just like the old me. I blobbed above the ocean, attempting to ask others to be free and be re-united with ONENESS. They gave me a look that said, "Yes, I know Oneness!" and floated away in the comfort of their "home".
This realization of oneness released me from my own imagined shackles! Walking out of the Self that once held me in, I was now more at ease with the SELF who expressed fully and unreservedly. Every day is anew and every moment too!
Another insight that came upon me was no one could force another to lose his "container", ie. Self, if he was neither ready nor willing to do so. By forcing one to lose his self, he would just be lost in that huge deep ocean, not knowing that he could blobbed himself above the ocean and experienced life as one self and yet in oneness!
May all who seek peace, joy and happiness be home in ONENESS!
Love & Light
