To Be wide awake in a story of duality being experienced as separation rather unification is both a blessing and a curse. Blessing, because you have accepted reality for what it is, your Being in story embracing the truth of your Soul that you are LOVE. Curse, because you are still here in the story of separation, with only torturous tantalizing tastes and touches of truth you have embraced to sustain you through the pain. The longing for completeness, for real connection becoming almost unbearable. That is what the tales of almost all sages, masters and gurus include long stretches of isolation away from the maddening masses where ego is constantly pushing their true self away, with some even consciously dissipating themselves back to source. It is also why now for even those who are still residong in slumber the separation overwhelms. As their hearts ache from constant longing to be reunited with the reality of LOVE they are. But without the awareness of the sage, the master or guru to know why they are suffering, so many more now are choosing suicide over continuing to be in the illusion of apartness. As LOVE I reach out to share with you that you are not and cannot be alone, a part. I see you, I feel you I know how suffer, how can I not when you are me and I in truth you. Yes, to Be wide awake in a story of duality told as separation is both a blessing and a curse that the awakened shoulder with limitless joy, compassion and empathy no matter how great the weight becomes.
