When the universe began, it opened its eyes for the first time. It must have been playing peek-a-boo with itself. In the story of Genesis, the “light,” which was created before the sun, is the light of consciousness itself, the great miracle that makes it all possible. Likewise, when you opened your eyes for the first time, it was exactly the same. You came into being completely one with all of creation, then drifted like the Big Bang, into the scattered forms of multiplicity. You falsely believe yourself as a fragment, a separate “me,” disconnected by the explosion. You became an alien to the epicenter of oneness, and your ego came into being (around age 5).
You never drifted from the epicenter, you’re just hiding from it, in the story of your so-called separateness. You are the epicenter, so how can you drift from what’s natural? From the scattered edges of the bang, you see fear, but it’s really like walking into a ghost – there are no scattered edges, just the appearance of such. But the illusion of “other” is necessary, and not foreign to the epicenter, just concealed in a game of peek-a-boo. The Indivisible One is too close to examine, so you don’t know it’s there!
The notion of “me” is the secret make-believe game of everyday life. There is no “other.” You simply cannot take anything out of the universe, so how can “other” be real? It’s all one, fundamentally – but we can join in the game! If you drift from the center, you fear; you clutch; you cling; you think it’s serious; you let go; you try; you engage in good/bad; and you think of right/wrong. But the truth is hiding in between – right allows wrong; and wrong allows right. The epicenter allows the illusion of “me.” The idea of “me” is hiding, trying to conceal itself from the epicenter of “I AM,” but there is no hiding because there is nowhere to go. Gotcha – peek-a-boo!
