The One-ness Project
The Jewel in the Lotus displays the brightness of the light shining with omnipresent love in every single object we see throughout our life.
What two methods do I need to use to fall in love unshakeable, ineffable, with everything all of the time, like some crazed teen, but with no body and no thing as the object of this love?
The first is to make the choice to stop, look, see and hear. Yes, and to smell, touch and taste, too.
Wherever you are at whatever point in your 24 hour day, examine it all with the clear sight of a young child. Allow your senses to react without pre-conditions, without labels, with no expectation coloured by ideas received.
Just confine yourself to receive what your body senses, with humility and gratitude. The more you choose this close connection between your senses and the material world, the more it appears in its ordinary extraordinary splendour.
If you need to speak, address what you are in the presence of as if you are chatting to your close friend. Be gentle, smile inwardly, slow yourself down to almost stationary. You are learning to engage in silent communion wherever you are and however you are feeling, with anything animal, vegetable or mineral. This is a an uncompleted meditative practice you can repeat daily as often as you wish.
By repetion, a time of fluent communication will come, and it will seem natural to chat to any and all the objects in your path. More than that, the Gentleness of the Being of the life you engage with (and even of the stones you pause to talk with!) infuses your heart with a peace and fulfilment only available through humble two-way intercourse.
What is the second method that secures the love of everything all of the time, like the fixed lights in the open sky above the desert at night?
It is bringing your attention to the publicly available knowledge which comes with the current understanding of the origins of life on Earth, as for example broadcast on TV, “Life on Earth”. Included here are the magnificent images and their science based analyses from the Vera C. Rubin telescope in Chile.
We now know what the drivers and mechanisms are which enable the billions of generations of creatures and organisms to replicate themselves with almost perfect repeatability over thousands of millions of Planet Earth’s evolutionary history.
Therefore, as you go about your business conversing tenderly, respectfully, with life forms all around you, you need to inhabit a far greater slice of geological time than the ordinarily available present!
Train yourself to be intensely aware of this extraordinary fact. You, and all life alive are individual copies of life’s templates passed through uncountable iterations via RNA and DNA.
As a representation of a model of life whose ancestry is too ancient to fully comprehend, think of yourself as a Pixel of Humanity.
You are unique as one of these fractal fragments of conscious self-awareness. At the same time, you and I display such close similarities with our kith and kin that we easily believe ourselves to be an exact replica of the original humans. We can cheerfully identify as Pixels of Humanity.
This being so, we can walk on our paths today in the present moment and simultaneously embody our ancestral identity.
Our forebears created us out of their love for life. We go filled with that love which our millions of mothers and fathers summoned into being millions of times over.
These habits of focus of our body and mind take us by the hand, and lead us as if through a portal to a new intensely beautiful place. With a passionate opening, we recognise it has always been our natural home.
The same goes for every single organic life form, sentient or not sentient, who share the present moments of our alive aware selves. We can allow ourselves to feel and see the light of our being, and be ever so glad it lights us brightly on our way.
