I stayed in meditation
for some time last night with specific questions. The whole issue of two
"powers" and/or the belief in their existence was the basis for my
questions. In this world of "opposites", it was revealed to me that when
living in either one of two worlds, man experiences "amnesia" about the
other. In far too many cases, man gets trapped in an "evil" state of
consciousness and "forgets" his belief about the opposite "power". Of
course there is no "power", there is only God. The opposite of peace and
contentment seems to sometimes "drift" into man's consciousness latching
on with a tight hold. And man wonders where this negative power comes
from. He imagines a "beast" fitting of all the horrible feelings he
experiences. And logically believes that there needs to be a stronger
"power" to free him from this existence.
My specific question was "tell me just one thing in man's existence that
does not have an opposite". The eventual answer was as follows. "There
are no opposites in anything because everything is only one, as a whole
and in and of each of its individual qualities." For what seemed like
very long time I felt a darkness overcome me, like looking into a deep
endless well. I was determined to hang in there and "prove" this new
revelation true. I just couldn't get that frightening image of the deep
blackness out of my consciousness. Suddenly, I asked, "what is the
source of this darkness?". A very soft and soothing voice came back and
said "The source of the darkness is the light". I then saw a very faint
light in the darkness grow brighter and brighter. I realized that there
was no "evil" or "opposite" source of the darkness. The source of all
that there is IS the LIGHT. Revelation after revelation started
occurring to me. I saw that opposites have never existed. They seem to
exist because, at times, something seems to disappear from our lives and
we think some evil powered opposite has taken its place. In truth, we
have simply moved our "perspective" and are seeing and feeling a
different view of the "one". Human minds don't understand this shift and
feel something quite opposite is facing us. We can't find love anymore
because fear seems to have replaced it. Man has a very difficult time
questioning his own thinking and feeling and conjures up a story to make
some sense of it. The truth is that man feels empowered by his own "self
creation" thoughts and is destroying himself with "logic" regarding
something that is not in the realm of logic. On and On it went.
Revelation after revelation, through the night and into the morning.
After going to sleep, I awoke refreshed with this new truth still in my
mind just as strong.
