Unification - essay

Unification is it. It's the answer to most of our so-called problems, particularly those of a cultural nature. A heart lens infused with this paradigm is decreasingly able to tolerate power driven ills such as war. It is a Oneness that stares back at such currently accepted mores with blessed, organic wisdom, light and compassion. Unity is not homogeneity. Far from it. True unification not only recognizes individuality but treasures it, seeing it for what it is; an illusion on the level of form that is respected as a bond-fide manifestation of Creative Will. True unification occurs underneath the level of observable form, obviously. Those who are committed to the idea acknowledge that all that is form, then, is a type of illusion, a temporary clothing of the unified body in a partial separate-hood that is definitely, and by definition, finite. It is important to note that those who are committed to this idea understand it, not at the level of a mental or emotional construct but on a level that starts at the mythic seat of the soul, the heart. Furthermore, the understanding of unification, when embraced, transcends words because it leaps from the heart and simultaneously self-informs and receives instruction from a level above heart, that of spirit, the very source from which we all spring. Again, this realization is not of the mind. The mind scoffs at it until the experiencer has sensed it time and time and time again and accepts that, while it is inexplicable and even incomprehensible to the mind in this place, it is nonetheless a reality. This knowledge, which settles on the soul rather than is foisted upon it, creates a space of deep, soulful knowledge, the presence of which makes it apparent that there is a reality that far dwarfs anything we can see or experience in this place. This results in the Experiencer feeling a vital disconnect from mores that do not agree with it, whether they be religious, political, social or otherwise. Even the concept of time as we understand it is on the proverbial chopping block. If this were again merely a mental idea, it would have limitation as belief, but belief is the realm of dogma. Those that experience the settling of the reality of unification upon their souls via heart and spirit have little patience for a dogma that can be explained, other than the recognition of it and the natural allowances and compassion for the processes in this place and plane of the (temporary) individual. Natural compassion, then, is one of the great hallmarks of those that sense this bond, and they share it with all the great sages, prophets, holy and medicine women and men that the world has ever known. They sense the eternal and inexplicable nature of Creator and the common thread that runs through all Creation, and the musical note common in us all.
