There is only God

What is the reality of a clay pot? Pot is a name and a form of clay. Pot is the apparent reality, an experience of clay. Clay is the underlying reality of pot. Now suppose you have 100 unique clay pots. Your experience is several different pots yet the reality is still clay. Having 100 clay pots, how many clays do you have? Obviously in this example there is only clay. Clay is the underlying reality of pots.

In a similar way the world is an experience of God. The world is an appearance of God. The world is the apparent reality and is filled with names and forms. The underlying reality is God or existent awareness. God is the cause and the world is the effect. God is eternal, existent, conscious, blissfulness and our own sense of being is THIS.

The world is a dance of energy, our minds give shapes, colors, names, forms, patterns, and ideas to the dance of energy. Our minds are part of the dance of energy, "WE" are the one that sees the dance.

There appears to be a difference between ourselves, the world, and God but this is also an apparent reality. For example- You are having a dream. In the dream you see several people in a church praying to God. In this dream you may be in a form, sitting there with the rest, or you may not be anywhere, you may just aware of what's happening. What is the underlying reality of you, the people, the place, and the God they pray to? The answer is you! You are the people, you are your presence in the dream, you are the place, and you are the God they pray to. Everything in the dream is part of you. Your mind in the dream and everything else in the dream are names and forms superimposed on your own awareness.

Say you are holding a clear crystal in your hand. If you hold the clear crystal in front of a blue cloth the crystal appears blue. In the appearance of blueness the crystal is completely unaffected, the crystal remains clear. In a similar way, in the appearance of mind, body, and world, your existence is completely unaffected. You are eternal, existent, awareness, you are the cause and the world is an effect.

If this knowledge becomes known to you then every burden of life becomes a blessing. By your presence you give life to this body. To enjoy a good flow of life then you must be devoted to this spirit of life. You must treat the world as your very own self. You must explore the stillness and find yourself there, behind the mind. You should never be a slave to the thoughts in your mind, let them rise and fall. Make the experience surrounding you be more beautiful by loving. Bring the experience of eternity to the surface and be a light of hope and peace to all. Blessings to you, with unconditional love.
