Since I started to see Reality as a unified whole I have had certain unusual impressions of how my actions are influencing the world around me. One that is particularly obvious is that when I eat mushrooms, it is not that “I” trip. It is not the character in the dream that trips. The very nature and structure of the experience is altered. I’ve gotten the entire universe high - and this makes sense because the universe is inside of consciousness. Now, “I” acts as a representative for the field of creative potential that is manifesting itself in the moment as life. The Great Silence sends an appearance of itself out into the manifestation to act as itself. And yet there’s this interesting contradiction for the mind. Although I am me, and I am the entire universe, I have not gotten the other dreamer in the house with me or the neighbor high with me. The relationship between a universal identity and a personal me is very difficult to understand because we are afraid to think in terms of isolation. But if we want to be free, this is a step we have to take willingly - to ask, Am I the only one here? Am I so alone, that even ‘other’ is myself? This devastating isolation, when perceived without fear, actually ends up being the explanation to human suffering. There is only self. There is only one being here and I am it. I cannot be alone and I cannot be together because it is just me, and I am a fountain of beatific originality and love.
