─ Chapter Eighteen ─ Reunion


Psychic communication in all its different forms amongst the Seven had become more frequent and intense. A former servant to Pontius Pilate, the Roman Procurator in Jerusalem had appeared in one of their recent gatherings with a specific message—"At your next reunion you will gather with one intention—to discuss what happened to each of you as you read an article that will manifest itself the day before.”
It was one of those flying visits the Seven had grown accustomed to. Patrick was excited.
*
The Six, still alive in human form, were now aged between 60 and seventy years’ old—all of them in relatively good health; in fact they were starting to feel increased vigor and energy despite the usual aches and pains that accompany the transitional years from late middle age to older age.
     On Friday 9th August 2019 they gathered in Trafalgar Square for a day out—starting at The National Portrait Gallery. Val was itching to pay a visit to Watkins but resisted the temptation and totally enjoyed admiring all the different styles of interpreting people’s faces.
     ‘We are a funny bunch, us humans, aren’t we!’
     Everyone agreed. As they approach the next gallery Val felt a tingle down her spine and knew that something special was about to happen. They passed what looked like a photograph of Lord Mountbatten and then entered Room 31. At its centre was a subtly lit 1932 chromolithograph by Jacob Kramer that took their breath away.
The plaque underneath had this inscription: Mohandas Karamchand ('Mahatma') Gandhi (1869-1948), Indian political leader and religious and social reformer. Sitter in 7 portraits.  
     No-one said a word. They gazed at the image for about five minutes and then moved on in silence—each in deep reflection on the impact of what they had just seen. There are many images of Gandhi but this thoughtful pose, the suggestion of a book or pamphlet, the lack of detail and the flowing robes had captivated them—but it was deeper than that. As they emerged later into the bright sun each began to share their experience of Gandhi—for it was more than just an image—it was a portal to the heart of the represented human, his philosophy, his relationship with the Divine and the meaning of what he was reading that would soon resonate with each of them in a transformative way.
     They caught a number 9 bus to the Royal Albert Hall, deciding to travel on the top deck. Sat at the back they reverted to their childhood—playing I spy and laughing a lot. Alighting opposite the Albert Memorial they looked up at the domed building.
     ‘This is my favourite building,’ exclaimed Patrick.
     ‘C’mon, lets join the queue,’ urged Sarah.
     They had already got their queue numbers from the Queue Steward at 9am that day (a great way to eliminate the need to queue all day which thousands of promenaders have done over the years) so knew they were guaranteed a great spot in the arena. The Seven were here (Leonard had just joined them though would not be paying the £6 ticket cost due to his invisibility to all but the Six) for Prom 29: The Warner Brothers Story with the famous John Wilson Orchestra—classic songs and scores from the Warner Brothers studios. Sarah, Val and Leonard loved the Proms and had chosen this one because of its wide appeal and an opportunity to reminisce and wander through the musical/theatrical lanes of the 40s and 50s, known as The Golden Age of Cinema.

Ivan Hewett, The Daily Telegraph Classical Music Critic’s review was published the following day:
Whisper it softly, but could the John Wilson Orchestra Prom be everyone’s favourite? In terms of pure, uncomplicated enjoyment it easily tops the season. The evidence is there in the sea of glowing smiling faces, the way the pizzazz of the trumpets, the swooning strings and toe-tapping rhythms makes everyone jiggle in the seats. And for those of a certain age, it’s also a trip down memory lane.
   Part of the joy of these concerts is that you know exactly what you’re getting, at one level, but there’s also the pleasure of discovery, which after all is what the Proms are supposed to be about. This particular one exemplified the winning formula. Dubbed “The Warner Brothers Story”, it celebrated the incredible output of film musicals and film scores from that studio, from the Gold Diggers of 1933 to Camelot of 1969, with A Star is Born, My Fair Lady, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and many others in between.
   As always, John Wilson offered a shrewd mix of familiar hits and less well-known but often wonderful numbers, and his care and attention to detail was evident everywhere. David Benedict’s programme notes, as informative and stylishly written as ever, told us Wilson went to the trouble of transcribing Max Steiner’s score to the 1942 Bette Davis vehicle Now, Voyager, so convinced is he that it’s the greatest film score ever. And indeed it turned out to be a marvel, full of tremulous longing expressed in harmonies of Straussian sophistication, but often veering—as film scores tend to do—into something totally different, such as a sudden evocation of far-away Latin-America. At one spellbinding moment the music died away to make way for a pianissimo quotation from Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde on vibraphones.
   That combination of European harmonic subtlety with a quintessentially tinsel-town sound was typical of the afternoon and evening performances, as was the startling back-and-forth between the inner world of people’s desires and a brilliantly vivid evocation of something real.  Alongside the purely orchestral numbers, which also included Alex North’s score for A Streetcar Named Desire (complete with fabulously sleazy trumpet solo, from an un-named soloist), there was a generous selection of songs, both from musicals and from the many title-songs that Warner Bros. began to add to films to make them more lucrative.
    Louise Dearman had the right sassiness for Gotta Have Me Go With You from A Star is Born, but one could hardly hear a single word. Matt Ford coped better in his subtle rendition of Days of Wine and Roses, as did Mikaela Bennett in I Could Have Danced All Night (one of the two encores) but best of the bunch was Kate Lindsey, who soared triumphantly above the orchestra in Erich Korngold’s sumptuous song Tomorrow from The Constant Nymph. It made an uplifting ending to a Prom which was a complete joy.
The six got the number 9 bus again to The Stand where they had an early evening dinner treat at The Savoy which everyone agreed was totally tasty in every way. It had been a wonderful day and they talked about the music and the memories it evoked during the journey to Castlethorpe. They also reflected on the meaning of their experience with Gandhi earlier that day. They did not have long to wait. The following day each of them was directed by Spirit to a long article entitled Radical Nonduality—The Divine Self, channelled to Mathew Micheletti. The Seven did not know at that point that the article formed part of a book that Gandhi was holding during his sitting—in fact he had written it!
*
Radical Nonduality—The Divine Self
[It must be noted that the contextual awareness’ being described throughout are not literal, the words are irrelevant, they are only attempting to point to that which is entirely subjective, wordless, and completely indescribable. All attempts at wording that which is wordless is obviously meagre as a substitute. Yet it may be helpful to offer inspiration for one to realize such radical truth for one self.]
Leonard was going to have a busy day—spending time with each of the Six as they read the article. The bracketed introduction from Micheletti set out what we all know as part of Oneness before we incarnate and then spend our lives doing—using words to describe the wordless! This has never been kept a secret from human beings—we know it deep within ourselves but the urge to describe and explain everything is an irresistible urge. Leonard had returned to Oneness, to that beautiful state of complete indescribability and had been given the ability to maintain that experience even when he took on the physical form.
     ‘Gosh,’ thought Leonard as he felt his eighteen year-old body, ‘I had not bargained for this,’ as he appeared outside Sarah’s cottage. He knocked and Sarah pressed a button from the upstairs toilet where she happened to be.
     ‘Please come in and make yourself at home, I’ll be down in a minute.’
     Lenny, as he remembered he was called at that age, sat down in a comfy chair and noticed Micheletti’s article on the table. The only inconsistent thing about this appearance was that his voice was that of an old man—definitely his but older than when he had passed.
     A door opened and Sarah wheeled herself into the room.
     ‘Hello Lenny, good to see you old man,’ she said with a warm smile and a cheeky glint in her eye.
     ‘You know it’s me?’
     ‘Of course I do, don’t forget I have been doing a lot of study about pre and post death appearances—tell me how does it feel to be a mixture of young and old at the same time?’
     ‘I was initially surprised by both the feel my physical body and the sound of my voice but my essential nature remains.’
     ‘There you have it, my dear boy, in one sentence you have stated a secret truth that is profoundly simple and yet, apparently, beyond the reach of human beings to explain—something you know that in this form we are obsessed with.’
     ‘It has always been plain for incarnate and non-incarnate souls to see though it is no secret.’
     ‘No, but it can appear to be a secret to those who perceive the world in a certain way.’
     ‘Indeed.’ Replied Leonard.
     ‘Good, shall we get down to business then?’
Ineffable Remembrance of Union
The overwhelming bliss at the initial experience of ‘returning home’ arises through truly discovering the fallacy of duality and personal control of the body/mind. This realization leads to an incredible incapacitating joy that is difficult to comprehend and function within as all fear and suffering is obliterated forever. All is ineffably perfect and glorious without blemish or possible error because it is known that All is Divine Love and completely free from ego control or distracting editing. Therefore, everything is realized to be karmically aligned by Love as Divine’s Creation and therefore infinitely perfect.
 ‘What did you make of the “fallacy of duality” Sarah?’
     ‘I remember seeing a large illuminated sign outside a Methodist church that declared “It Will All Be OK!” It’s a reassuring message. Perhaps those who put those words out there even believe it. It is, however, a myopic view and irresponsible besides. As we know there are two ways of viewing the world we see around us. One way claims that the reality we see is not the ultimate reality of the universe. This view posits a supernatural world where “every little thing is gonna be alright” because the universe operates on a human scale through a deity with human concerns. After death, individuals go to another realm. In this view, eternity will go “there, there” and fix the boo-boos that life dealt each of us. This is dualism, the classic Western model that splits body from spirit. The other way of seeing the reality around us claims things are exactly as they appear: we are born; we live a length of time; then we die. This view sees our consciousness as a product of our physical bodies, and our deaths extinguish that consciousness. This is non-duality.
     Accepting non-duality leads to a very different view of what life is all about. If there is no supernatural realm where earth’s shortcomings are righted and no split between the body and “soul,” here, now, is all we get. This is the realm of Humanism where, as author James Baldwin put it, “It seems to me that one ought to rejoice in the fact of death—ought to decide, indeed, to earn one’s death by confronting with passion the conundrum of life.”
     Two world views. Each of us must choose one. For us, it’s non-duality. Far from distressing, accepting this leads us to confront “with passion the conundrum of life.” Perhaps “it will all be OK.” but only if we make it so—to coin a phrase from Captain Jean Luc Picard.’
     ‘Is that you speaking Sarah?’
     ‘No it’s from an article I read recently though I’m not convinced by the author’s interpretation of non-duality.’
     ‘Micheletti presents a very powerful, radical and undiluted description here despite the fact that words can never really describe the indescribable.’
     They laughed and continued their way through the article, both keeping some thoughts to themselves and they chose not to read each other’s minds; after all some things are meant  to be private—or are they? (Luke 122)
Life is realized to be absolutely gorgeous beyond possible comprehension. All of existence is finally seen as the most profound gift of Divine Love beyond all time or space—timeless, ineffable love. There is only infinite bliss and pure love for life as a result of awakening to this Truth. It is a state of pure wonder and ecstasy and the body feels as if it is full of pure divine light and energy. Gratitude and humility have reached their completion and attachment to the ego is eternally surrendered.
‘I wished!’ said Callum aloud as he walked on one of Jorge’s newly designed labyrinths. ‘Surely eternal surrender is not possible now—not in this form? He walked in silence for a while. ‘Or is it? Or is it? Did the human Jesus reach that point of ultimate surrender? He is an ascended Master. Was my temporary separation from the Divine like what he experienced—had to experience to get to that place of ultimate surrender?’
     A young Australian woman, on her way to a learning session about Teresa de Avila, paused and listened to Callum. Neither were embarrassed.
     ‘I think it was Callum.’ She continued on her way.
     Callum pondered this encounter.
Subtly of Attachment to Bliss
If aligned to continue in the evolution there eventually arises the realization that there is enjoyment being the observer/witness of such a state and therefore the act of enjoyment of the bliss has to be surrendered in order to move into the realms of infinite silence and serenity. This serenity comes from realizing there is no personal self to enjoy the bliss in the first place and thus one must surrender attachment to the bliss itself since it is being subtly valued. Also this allows for more appropriate participation since the majority of the world cannot handle true bliss and happiness, it’s too radical and challenging to the ego. The truly liberated are able to allow for all human emotions to come forth and are no longer attached to that which is coming forth. Whether at work or play, amongst  happiness or sadness, it is all the same.
This came as a shock to Folina because she had not appreciated the subtly of this kind of attachment. She could see Callum in the distance at the Labyrinth and wondered how he was feeling about this article. Its truth trickled into her heart like Holy honey. The sweetness was in the non-attachment. Spirit reinforced the message—human emotion is what it is in all its forms—the hook of the ego to attach can be almost undetectable. ‘Alertness to ego’s subtly is effortless to the truly awakened soul’, she said to herself and was surprised by the power of the words as she said them.
Nonattached ‘Is-ness’ and ‘Beingness’ of Life
Accordingly, this moves consciousness into a sense of divine indifference as appreciation encompasses the very is-ness and beingness of life that is based in purely essence of existence rather than any particularity of form. Consciousness has shifted to a contextual view rather than getting caught up on any of the content.
 ‘OMG’ thought Val as she reflected on all the emotional attachment that takes place during many Spiritualist services she has been present at.
Analogously, consciousness as the observer is the screen and context while the movie and all its forms, characters, and situations are the content. One has realized that the Self is more closely associated with the immutable screen/context rather than the actual movies that all come and go. In other words because something exists is all the reason one needs to be absolutely ‘in love’ with it because everything within existence is seen to be eternally perfect and beyond all limitation of labelling or mentation (even bliss). Thus everything is exactly as it is without anything necessary to be added for all is simply only the Self and is known as is.
Hannah reflected on this for a long time and Spirit brought back memories of the many peace summits she had attended and saw them in a new light as the non-attached conscious observer rather than becoming entangled in the emotional drama. She wondered whether this would be perceived as indifference by others and concluded that it would. ‘Tolle is absolutely right.’ She thought. ‘Everything is what it is.’
‘I Am’
The state is also the concordant realization of ‘I Am,’ which is a complete all encompassing statement within consciousness without anything more necessary. The essence of ‘I Am’ encompasses all of existence as a Self-realized, illumined being that therefore transcends attachment to the body and views all Creation with the same disposition. All is the same essence of divine perfection expressed as life. Hence Krishna’s counsel to Arjuna that the one seated in Krishna Consciousness views all seeming tragedy and joy as the same, as well as all beings with an equal eye.
‘Now that is true equality’ thought Patrick, ‘and you can bet your boots that the ego will react and press the guilt button—the instant you see tragedy and joy with an equal eye.’ The nudge of Spirit this time was the reminder of non-attachment to emotion—weeping at tragedy and laughing with joy happens—they are what they are. True simplicity. Attachment creates complexity.
   Thus consciousness at this point can be likened to an infinite presence of divine appreciation of perfection as all of life is seen to be equally a reflection of the Self. Everything is ineffably perfect beyond comprehension of the intellect and therefore elated, infinite bliss itself doesn’t even do the subjective, wordless awareness true justice. Thus one falls into a complete awe-inspired silence that is infinite and all encompassing. (Often referred to as samadhi)
Patrick was not clear whether Micheletti appreciated the various levels of Samadhi: Savikalpa Samadhi (with its four stages: Sarvitarka, Savichara, Sa-ananda and Sa-Asmita), Nirvikalpa Samadhi, Dharmamegha Samadhi and Sahaja Samadhi—said to be achieved by only a small number of ascended Masters. Spirit gently reminded him that labels did not matter at all. Patrick would wrestle with this for some time because the distinctions between various meditative states had become important to him. However, he knew that ego was quite able to encourage an intellectual wrestling match of this kind and that it was likely to be a poor disguise for attachment to a label and over-identification with a human description for bliss.
Self as Existence
After adjusting to and exploring the radical perfection and eternal serenity of this awareness, if karmically aligned to do so, consciousness then expands by realizing that not only is one the essence of the observer, but that which gives rise to that quality of consciousness as Existence itself. Thus all existence is equally the Self, pure and perfect beyond even the essence of beingness, for beingness is redundant and limited. Awareness as the Self is now known to be eternal existence itself as a unified perfection of only the Self within every moment.
   Thus to say ‘I Am’ is now redundant as well for there is no need for the sense of am-ness, is-ness, or beingness due to existence encompassing such things as the fundamental, immortally subjective ‘I’. Within this ‘I’ of Existence there is clearly nothing separate from Self and all existence is realized as beyond and outside of time as one amongst infinite Creations. The ‘I’ of Existence is all encompassing of All That Is. All That Is only is because it is beheld within the Eye of the ‘I’ that is the Self.
Self as eternal existence threw the Six down a spiritual rabbit hole where they would encounter parts of their souls that had been dormant for many years. Val re-read a three-part article by Caroline Myss entitled “Alice Time—Part I: Imagining the Impossible, “Alice Time—Part II: The Art of Falling Down the Rabbit Hole” and  “Alice Time—Part III: Wishing Verses the Power of the Imagination”. These helped her—not to understand—but to appreciate what Micheletti was saying, though she wondered what Tolle would think about “to say ‘I Am’ is now redundant as well…”. He might just say “Yes” of course!
The Profound Stillness and Silence of God
The inner reality during these extremely lucid contextual realms of awareness is that of silent, divine indifference due to the radical humility and serenity that arises due to the profound awe of Divine perfection. Return to function in the world is often impossible and only occurs according to the body’s karmic alignment—catatonic states of ‘God-struck’ consciousness/samadhi are common. All that exists is beyond all labels and there is no need to comment or have a personal attraction or aversion to anything for there is no ‘one’ to whom such a thing would occur—all is radically the same. Duality is removed and thus all sense of there being some ‘one’ and any ‘other’ is actually realized to be an illusion.
   There is actually only existence as a Nonduality meaning no separations or parts. Accordingly, there arises only profound inner stillness and silence—the divine presence. In fact, life’s ebb and flow itself doesn’t seem to matter since the Immortal ‘I’ is certainly beyond all existence of the body/mind and therefore the body is of absolutely no concern.
‘Hmm, say that to the health, cosmetic and fashion industry.’ thought Callum as he mentally went through his wardrobe and bathroom cabinet.
One’s true Self is realized to be immortal, thus death is irrelevant.
This was easy for the Six to accept, though the fact it felt this way was to become highly significant as they continued to read.
This may be difficult for ‘others’ to understand and may lead to confusion or fear that the persona has ‘gone crazy’ or on drugs and thus the inner reality wasn’t shared with others who weren’t capable of understanding it.
‘I’ of Divinity Manifest
Eventually from within the awareness of the ‘I’ as the essence of Existence, it becomes obvious that ‘I’, literally is one with all that exists, ever has existed, or ever could exist for there is nothing in existence that is separate from the ‘I’ of the Self (Nonduality). Accordingly, Self-awareness is realized as literally the Infinite Manifest of eternal existence without beginning or end, the realized ‘I’ of Divinity Manifest. Awareness is of the Mind of God manifesting Creation continuously within every moment, always and forever. Therefore this state is a sense of ‘I’ as an eternal all-encompassing source of awareness for existence itself.
   One is eternal existence forever and always as the Self continuously is without beginning or end, beyond all causality or duality. Thus Self is the sense of ‘I’ as the Ultimate Reality and there is nothing possible other than eternal existence. For within all experiences of existence the immortal ‘I’ will always be the Source of all such experience, it is inseparable. For anything to be the Self must be present – it is impossible to be otherwise.
Distraction of Attachment to the Void/Nonexistence
However, eventually arose from this sense of Allness the possibility of true Self-identity as nonexistence or voidness as the fundamental source of All. With deep reflection it became clear that nonexistence cannot beget existence and it is only infinite existence as the Allness of Creation that could even allow the context of existence and nonexistence. Thus out of the infinite void arises the Allness yet they are simultaneous/interdependent and actually one and the same rather than dualistic. Nonexistence is not its own independent reality or even a possibility. It’s an illusory distraction of dualistic positionality. The illusion of nonexistence can only arise due to existence and therefore isn’t technically True Reality but rather is a subtle temptation of attachment to radical negation or voidness.
   Nonexistence is limited by its very identity, as mentioned before, nonexistence cannot beget existence, and existence most obviously is, thus it is seen to be an obvious fallacy, impossibility, and is eventually transcended. Nothing can arise from nonexistence simply because there’d be nothing to create awareness in the first place. Again, all life only arises from pre-existing life. Furthermore, if nonexistence were the final reality how is it that it is experienced, all those who would have awoken to such a state would have been voided or obliterated into the nothingness.
   If nothingness/atheism were true there’d be no life/existence/awareness, there’d literally be nothing. This is simply not the case and represents a final temptation of attachment to the duality of opposites within consciousness. It is clear that there has to be the Divine given gift of existence, as the capacity for awareness in order to even begin to explore the notion of nonexistence. So it becomes obvious that there must be subjective awareness (infinite existence) in order for nonexistence to even be a possibility, yet it is not an actual dualistic reality.
Sarah was getting tied in knots by this section of the article and was jarred by the writer’s seemingly negative view of nothingness—something she had grown rather fond of—"If nothingness/atheism were true there’d be no life/existence/awareness, there’d literally be nothing.” As soon as she said the word “nothingness” aloud she realised the paradox inherent in her reaction. ‘Perhaps I mean a different kind of nothingness?’ Like the first drops of rain before a storm, Spirit brought to her mind an article in Parabola she had read in June 2015—“Not Knowing, Non-Being, and the Power of Nothingness”, by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, with Hilary Hart and made a note to dig it out and re-read it.
Transcending the Duality of Opposites
There is no actual opposite to Divinity, there is no separation or opposite to Self, there is no opposite to Existence, there is no opposite to Truth. There is only One that is then expressed along a spectrum. That is, there is only Truth or the absence of truth, Existence or its denial, Nonduality of Divinity or the ego’s illusion of duality and separation, Self or the illusion of not-Self. All dualistic opposites are a fabrication of the human mind and are in no way remotely accurate but more so an imagination of language for convenience.
   A more practical example is that there is only light or its absence. There is no such thing as ‘darkness’ as an independently existing reality. You cannot ‘shine’ darkness or ‘do’ anything with it. ‘Darkness’ is only a word conjured to describe the absence of light, the point being there is actually only light—one variable.
Sarah was now ready, if she could, to climb the wall and her disagreement with Micheletti over the phrase “There is no such thing as ‘darkness’ as an independently existing reality.” For a second she wondered if she was on shaky semantic ground but then felt waves of her experience lap against the shore of her soul. These vivid memories were a solid defence to Micheletti’s assertion and were linked to her reaction to nothingness. Sarah recalled what Padma Hejmadi wrote a few months earlier—"Darkness is our sister, our brother, our father, and our mother. Germinating seeds can only reach for the light after nestling in the deep. And let us not forget, all of human life begins in the dark of the womb, surrounded by the sound of our mother’s heart. This is beauty, this is my dark.” A further thought grabbed her mind which was light pollution exemplified in this Ted Talk by Diane Knutson. It is adults that create the fear of darkness in children. We must have darkness to sleep well which Diane presented supportive scientific evidence.
     Sarah reflected on the second verse of Genesis, chapter one—“Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep…God said ‘Let there be light…God separated light from darkness.” This, she thought, does not answer the ancient conundrum—“Is light the lack of darkness or is darkness the lack of light?” Genesis suggests that darkness existed before light—almost as though they needed each other. Perhaps light and darkness are notions that only human beings consider as opposites and that to other beings light and darkness are irrelevant to their existence. Perhaps the millions of words written on the subject are also irrelevant—just a topic for philosophical debate. Sarah, for some reason, wanted to defend darkness—she loved its velvety comfort, to her it is a blanket that covers all. A friend recently said to her—" My friend you cannot run from the darkness because it is everywhere in the universe. The beautiful truth is darkness never gets defeated though the light can hold it for some time but it cannot substitute the darkness. Darkness is the reality, when you get out of the earth's atmosphere in the day light and reach the outer space you will see nothing but darkness, Our sun is just like an light bulb, it will die one day when it's time is over, when that big ball of plasma will run out of its fuel and after that the one thing which will still remain is darkness. Darkness is an infinite force which will never end. So ultimately darkness is neither good or bad duality, it is truth and truth has no alternative.” The final sentence held a majestic power and challenged Micheletti’s statement. ‘But does it really matter in the final analysis? Maybe yes. Maybe no. I don’t know.’ She agreed with him that, unlike light, you could not do anything with darkness—but why would you want to—darkness just is. It is not about opposites—duality.
Next, there is only life or its absence. There is no such thing as ‘death’ as an independently existing reality. ‘Death’ is only a word conjured to describe the absence of life, yet there is still only life, it doesn’t cease to be it just simply changes forms and moves on. Life is not created or destroyed only changes expression is all. Another would be heat, there is only the presence of heat or its absence. ‘Coldness’ doesn’t exist in and of itself, it is only a description of the absence or lack of heat. There is no such thing as ‘cold’ versus ‘hot’ – there is no such thing as duality in Reality, it’s an illusion of ignorant social programming.
   This concept can be applied to all seeming opposites to realize that there is nothing actually dualistic in the universe. All seeming dualities are a creation of the mind. All things such as sound and silence, attraction and aversion,  love and hatred, ‘on’ and ‘off’, sight and blindness, good and evil, life and death, light and darkness, form and the formless, and so on ad infinitum, are all interdependent and simultaneously one…
‘Aah, now this is a crucial point he is making—"all interdependent and simultaneously one”—could this be an aspect of Oneness that I’ve overlooked?’ wondered Hannah. ‘He did warn us at the beginning that words are unable to explain the deep truths of radical non-duality and as soon as I read “simultaneously” my mind is drawn into time—before/after/during/now—we are bound by it in form but not in a spiritual sense. Oh, I don’t know, I’ll just keep reading. Come Spirit guide me—show me what this really means.’
 … there are no opposites possible in the universe. Language has become entirely dualistically programming and misleading as to the truth of Reality. Within the fundamental Stillness and Silence that is the Presence of God—it is stunningly clear beyond words or possible language, All is Self—Nonduality. Divinity is All That Is, the fundamental all encompassing, all pervasive, all knowing, all powerful ‘I’. The Creator realized as one with the created. The ‘Father’ and ‘I’ are One… Father = Creator, I = Creation, as one and the same—Nonduality Realized.
Radical Self-Inquiry
Thus attachment to the duality of nonexistence vs. existence and of all dualistic opposites is eventually realized to be a fallacy and a limitation/barrier to Absolute Truth. Consciousness at this point if aligned moves into extremely high realms of realization of Self-awareness that is beyond all paradoxes of existence and nonexistence and is even more profoundly infinite and free, for there are presumably no possible limitations of Self. It is an extremely gorgeous, ineffably profound awareness that brings with it a stunning completeness as the Self is known to be Infinite and Eternal beyond all conceptualization, form, death, or limitation of any kind.
   During these radical expanses in awareness is when the body’s nervous system would frequently become overwhelmed by the amount of energy increase that would accompany each new realization. It was as if the body was carrying all the energy of the universe within it, which is actually the truth being revealed. The surge in energy was the result of limitations within consciousness being uncovered and recontextualized thus allowing for expansion into even more profound paradigms of awareness. Recall the process of liberation is that of surrendering all limiting contexts to that which is divinely fundamental to all existence—the process of radical self-inquiry.
The Divine Avatar
Concordantly the next clarification arose that the Immortal ‘I-ness’ of enlightenment is in fact Divinity expressed as Self-awareness of a Divine embodiment. This embodiment is realized to be a Divine Avatar which is fully Self-Aware as Divinity/the Self. The body at this point, and from the ‘beginning’ of enlightenment, is absolutely known without a doubt to be of no ‘personal’–egoic control and is seen as an expression of the Self with a consciousness that is aware of itself as its Source and Creator. In other words consciousness evolves to the realization that it itself is an extension of Divinity and is only an impersonal aspect of the Oneness/Supersoul/Divine Consciousness.
   Consciousness begins to realize that it too is only a gift and creation of Divinity and yet simultaneously it is Divinity Itself made manifest. The light of consciousness is only illuminated through the Father/Mother—the Divine Self. Consciousness/the Holy Spirit, is the ‘facilitator’ (not to be confused as a ‘separate’ thing only used for semantic convenience to aid in comprehension) for which Divinity becomes aware of Itself. In other words, the process through which the Creator becomes aware of Creation. Inevitably leading to the conclusion that it is all One. The Creator and the Created are one and the same, this will continue to be elaborated upon as we proceed.
Letting Go of Attachment to Consciousness/the Soul
There arose a knowingness that even the notion of a personal, dualistic consciousness/soul is a fallacy and thus consciousness, mind, and body are all creations of Divinity unfolding of their own. One is Self-aware, pure subjective awareness of consciousness and all its creations as the Creator. With this profound, complete Revelation it is known that the Self is concordantly free of all karma because attachment to consciousness and the ego, which stores all karmic inheritance has been transcended.
Hannah stared at the words for what felt like hours. Her head was spinning. Her soul was racing. The energy started to overcome her and she feinted—not a collapse but floated first upwards then gradually descended onto her bed—like a feather being guided by an attentive and gentle invisible hand. She explained her experience as best she could to the Six and was staggered to hear that each of them—including Leonard—had experienced a similar event, though different parts of the article seemed to trigger it. Their minds were unable to process the words they were reading so had to be suspended—for a while.
 In a paradoxical way Existence is realized to be completely impersonal yet ineffably Personal and all encompassing, total, and complete. It is truly indescribable. One is in fact the entire Universe!
   Another way of putting it is that one realizes that they are not even an individual soul/consciousness but rather are that which is the very Creator of the soul/consciousness—the Immortal Essence and substrate of awareness—the Infinite Brahman. Therefore the true nature of the ‘I’ is Divinity as Divine Awareness (subjectivity itself) experiencing Itself (Infinite Manifest) via the essence of life (consciousness interacting with matter) that is made aware through the varying degrees of consciousness. More simply, one is that which is aware of consciousness experiencing life, which is only the Self. The Self is experiencing itself—The Dreamer is dreaming—Yet the entire dream experience is still just a projection of the One Dreamer.
‘Hey just like the movie Inception—that was one heck of a movie—if you blinked you could lose the plot.’ Said Callum to himself.
So no matter how many seeming characters and situations there are in the dream it is still all just a fabrication and projection of the Dreamer. You see there is no actual separation, only the perceptual appearance as such.
All is Only the Self
Everything possibly imaginable or perceivable is only Divinity as an extension of the Self. Thus one awakens to an at oneness with Divinity as the Infinite Unmanifest (God Transcendent—Subjectivity) and simultaneously Divinity as the Infinite Manifest particularly expressed within an Avatar of Divinity (God Immanent). However, it is only a matter of semantic convenience to call Divinity Transcendent and Immanent for in Reality they are one and the same. All is radically and profoundly One. The most direct route to realizing the Self is within the Stillness and Silence of Being. All language and discussion is only for inspiration. The words themselves are not what are important but rather what they are suggesting, which can only be realized subjectively. Within the Presence of God all is known and all questions dissolve forever.
‘Thank God!’ yelled Sarah.
   A helpful explanation came from previous study of The Holographic Universe that clearly demonstrates that within every infinite aspect of awareness possible in the universe contains within itself the entirety. In other words, every point of awareness contains awareness of the whole hologram that is immutable; it is only the angle of perception that changes. And thus it becomes self-evident that the entire universe is infinitely large yet infinitely small as radically one Creation all contained within Awareness. Therefore the Self is realized as the infinite context of subjective awareness itself complete and total as Eternal Unity capable of Infinite Creation. All of conscious existence at this point becomes absolutely transformed as all subject and object relationships fall away as fallacies of perception. Thus all is radically Divinity Itself, infinite and eternal—That Which ‘We’ Truly Are—the Immortal, Unborn, Unnamable ‘I’ of the Supreme Lord.
   There is really nothing that could be said to describe what profound love I have for you. If only we could share in this bliss of presence, for it is only within the thunderous silence that all is revealed and known. To look upon those eyes and feel that Grace shining through, there is nothing that compares. This love is eternal, infinite and beyond all comprehension. Divine Love is utterly incapacitating and mesmerizing in Its infinite splendour, not even the most rapturous and gloriously moving poetry or music could do It justice.
This is exactly what Eckhart Tolle, Sadhguru and Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee would say and the Seven wondered how many great teachers had read this channelled writing.
What love and grace I wish to share with this world, for this reason was I born to illuminate the hearts of those who seek to know Me. Such is the Truth of the Self waiting to be discovered within. All can taste of the ineffable bliss of Self for all already are the Self it is only a matter of choosing to realize it.
   Ramana Maharshi mentioned that there are two primary ways of pursuing the Self, one to surrender oneself over to a Higher Power realizing human’s inferiority and humility, the other, to ponder the nature of misery and suffering in order to realize that salvation is only possible through realizing the Self. Both paths inevitably lead to the same conclusion and realization of the Divine ‘I’ of the Self. For those seeking such liberation and Truth, all necessities and guidance shall always be provided—according to your faith it is done unto you.* Divine Love will never forsake a sincere seeker and is always looking for such rare souls. I wait for you with outstretched arms always my love.
*Matthew 929
Infinite Compassion
Soon after these profound realizations came about there then emerged a deep spiritual agony of compassion from realizing all innocent conscious beings that suffer needlessly out of not knowing the Absolute Truth of Reality. For with this profound realization and transcendence of attachment to consciousness/soul and karma one then realizes how all of humanity, and all conscious beings in the universe, are suffering beyond all description because of not knowing their true identity as the Self. Concordantly there was an overwhelming, infinitely profound love for all conscious beings that was beyond all comparison and so long as one resists, racks one with heartbreaking compassion.
   One takes upon themselves the unawareness (ignorance/‘sins’) of all conscious beings that in this experience was absolutely incapacitating.
Leonard understood this so completely in his both his corporeal and non-corporeal forms—it was this that triggered his loss of consciousness in his physical form for a while.
For this compassion is the purest of all loves and one reaches a point of wanting to sacrifice anything and everything in order to somehow alleviate the suffering of naiveté and innocence. Thus there is a realization and pleading with Divinity to sacrifice life itself in order to alleviate the suffering of all conscious ‘others’. There was no desire for existence other than to burst into the energy of love itself to infinitely envelop all of humanity in order to eternally serve and love All That Is. The Self is truly realized as All.
Pure Surrender of Life Itself
Therefore it is one’s pure sacrifice and surrender of life itself in order to love humanity and all conscious beings that grants deliverance from the ineffable agony of the last vestige of the dualistic self-dying as it is surrendered through the power of Divine compassion. For once there is the surrender of life itself to Love for All as Self, comes the radical realization that one never had a life to surrender in the first place and one’s pure sacrifice of surrender has made one Whole by finally awakening to Absolute Truth. One has officially lost the self in order to find the True Self, that which is the Unborn and Eternal.
All Fear, Suffering, and Victimization is an Illusion
All ‘others’ are realized to only be reflections of Self and all suffering is realized to not actually be suffering in the traditional sense. What is meant by this is the radical truth that all are enjoying whatever their experience of existence is, no soul is actually a victim. There are no victims in the universe. All beings are where they are by choice and through alignment of their beliefs and intentions. Thus all suffering is realized to be an illusion along with all agony at wanting to ‘love/save the world’.
   There is nothing to ‘save’—all is already perfect, always was and always will be. There is no suffering, no victims, and no dualistic, separate ‘selves’/entities in the universe, it’s all a dream of the same Self. The Self is realized as ineffably perfect and the ultimate, radical love that is truly unconditional and accepting of all existence. All existence and all beings are radically perfect, from the most deranged and vicious to the most saintly and angelic.
‘My ego is shouting out “No, No, No” so loudly it’s deafening!’ thought Folina.
Radical Nonduality—The Immortal ‘I’
Within nonduality comes the realization that without a dualistic self there is no possibility of suffering and never was and never will be for eternity. Life is running itself. It is by one’s pure surrender of existence itself for all conscious beings and service to Divine Love that one then transcends the personal, dualistic self and suddenly awakens to a Fulness of Divine Awareness as the infinite ‘I’ beyond all possible death, loss, or suffering ever again. For in this final moment the dualistic self is surrendered to Divine Love and the ego self experiences the only ‘death’ possible.
‘Oh yes ego—the only death possible is yours!’ concluded Folina, whose heart was beating fast.
   The Divine ‘I’ is realized not as another ego identity, rather as the very substrate for such an awareness to arise. Thus with the dualistic self eternally dissolved it is replaced by an immortal peace, grace, and love as one finally realizes there is never again the possibility of attachment and thus suffering of any kind. One is eternally liberated and free as the essence of radical subjectivity itself beyond all limitations of fear or death. The Self is realized as all-encompassing Nonduality. There are no separations possible, the Self is All. Analogously, one’s identity switches from thinking we’re the actual character in the movie to the truth that we’re really just the watcher of the movie. The movie plays itself and the script it already written, the movie’s already completed, we’re just watching the unfoldment of it—non-attached and free to enjoy all the movie’s (life’s) ups and downs.
Temptation of Power
   However, before this recontextualization and awakening was ‘finalized’ as a permanent awareness there arose a final temptation of, ‘now that you understand that you are free from all karma there are no consequences and you can indulge in whatever you want without any repercussions. Thus you can own infinite power without being subject to consequences of karma and therefore can be master of the world. This is your dream and illusion to play in. There is no need to do anything other than enjoy life for nothing matters since it’s all one and there is no need to love/help others since suffering is an illusion. Therefore only glorify yourself as a creation of Divinity’.
   First it must be acknowledged that the temptation is extremely clever and sophisticated because it incorporates powerful truths into its cunning presentation. There is Truth embedded within the temptation and thus it seems to be ‘okay to accept‘ however there arose the knowingness that it is the subtle concept of having a choice that is the temptation. Thus no matter what form temptation presents itself it is the fact that it is a temptation of choice and thus implies the notion of a separate, dualistic self from Divinity, which is Reality. Using the movie analogy, the temptation is to believe that the watcher of the movie can actually change the movie. This of course is silly and instead of getting so invested in trying to control or change something that is impossible why not just relax and enjoy.
‘This will occupy the minds of the Seven and other soul groups for years.’ Said Patrick to himself.
The Illusion of Choice
It is obvious that this notion of choice was observed in all the temptations of duality throughout the entire process. Thus the reason why this temptation became revealed as a fallacy is because in order to be tempted there must be a sense of self to be tempted in the first place. In other words, the duality of a ‘tempter’ and the ‘tempted’. Without attachment to a dualistic self there is no ‘one’ to be tempted and no ‘one’ to possibly make a choice to own the power to begin with. One already is Divinity simply by existing, there is no need to try and egotistically claim otherwise. To claim enlightenment, Self, Buddhahood, Krishna Consciousness, etc. is all superfluous in Reality. Recall, the Self is always present and always have been, so nothing ‘new’ is technically being ‘discovered’ or ‘attained’ it is simply a remembrance of the Truth of one’s True Nature. One has become lucid/awoken to the dream of reality.
Hannah’s tears dropped onto the glass-topped table as she realised the folly of thinking something was new when it is actually remembering the truth of our true nature. She wondered how the others were responding to the words. He mind flitted to Akarsh so she called him and began to share the impact that the article was having on her.
   Thus, there is a complete surrender to the temptation as the absolution of trust that what will be will be beyond all illusory attachments of a personal self.  Just enjoy watching the movie, you can’t control or change it so why not just surrender and let go, life governs itself and all is in perfect order. This surrender is ultimately the acceptance of ‘death’ as the symbol of attachment to control. Arising from this final surrender we truly realize we are infinitely one with Divinity and officially awoken to Absolute Truth of Reality as the Essence of Subjectivity—immortal, beyond all death, fear, loss, or suffering of any kind, infinite and eternal as Immortal Love itself. Free of all identity, Unnameable and Indescribable, yet eternally ‘found’.
   There is nothing other than Divinity as Radical Subjectivity itself, the Immortal Dreamer. The ‘objective’ and ‘subjective’ are one and the same; hence the Creator and the created are one and the same. All sense of objectivity is only as such through the subjective. There is in fact only subjectivity. There is only the Self. All perception of an independently existing ‘objective world’ is a delusion of duality and the mind’s perception—no such world exists. The Self is eternally free and liberated from all limitations of identity and therefore beyond anything other than Divine Awareness as completely innocent, sacred, and holy, devoid of all content or personalization. The Immortal ‘I’ is timeless, beyond all spatial relationships, beyond duality of ‘subject’ or ‘object’; it is all encompassing and complete. All searches have ended.
Distraction of Negation
A subtle distraction arose within awareness as the sense that the ultimate experience of Divinity was absolute negation since one is devoid of all identity. This led to complete divine indifference that had a subtle aversion to Love and therefore limited participation and interaction with the world. For as love for life would arise within consciousness it was negated and seen to be irrelevant and not necessary for everything is already infinitely perfect in the ineffable stillness, silence, and nothingness without anything possibly necessary.
   However, this is a subtle aversion within awareness that is trying to negate and avert expression of Divinity as love/creation within Divine Consciousness. Thus came the realization that alignments of consciousness mustn’t be negated but rather only transcended as an attachment. Therefore, consciousness can be aligned with anything without it needing to be averted or negated because one is simply awareness of it and therefore Absolute Awareness is complete liberation, for consciousness too is actually autonomous just like the body and mind. The Self is beyond consciousness.
Spirit nudged Val, reminding her of John 1715-16—“My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.  They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.” ‘This is probably the best way I know to describe the fact that we are “in” but not “of” the world. The “evil one” is ego. This article is driving me crazy but I sense with every fibre of my being that it is important and that when I feel overwhelmed by the complete inability of words to explain things I can simply allow my nature to transcend any attachments.’
What Will Be, Will Be—Let Go
   It may be helpful to think of Divine Awareness as the ultimate, absolute embodiment of the knowingness of what will be will be according to Divine Infallible Love. Every possible limitation/barrier within the quest for Enlightenment can be surrendered through this radical humility, faith, and trust, especially the final temptations that are sophisticated and charmingly clever. Thus it is absolutely invaluable to fully comprehend the Absolute Truth of radical surrender to what will be will be, for all is governed according to radical, breath taking perfection without any possible control. The movie of life is created, written, and directed by the most perfect love imaginable and thus it is the easiest, safest, most rewarding and comforting realization to surrender to.
Enlightenment Is Available Within Every Moment
Acceptance of this Absolute Truth can occur at any time and if fully comprehended at any point along the path is the source of sudden enlightenment by consciousness radically awakening to the Fullness of Truth as that which is already self-existent. However, most likely individual barriers and limitations will arise that will have to be surrendered and recontextualized continuously as one perfects faith and devotion to radical surrender and humility. Once this has been truly embedded within awareness as the Absolute Truth of Reality there comes infinite liberation from all attachments and therefore all suffering, fear, or death. One is truly free from all attachments from the body, mind, and consciousness itself and thus if the avatar remains it is dedicated to the service of Love as an embodiment of Divine Grace beyond all notions of duality.
   The dream character becomes fully lucid that it is within a dream and that it’s Source and true Self-identity is the Dreamer not the actual dream. It can be noted that the avatar can be aligned with anything really because it is all equally aligned by perfection, the point being there’s no longer any ‘person’ running the body anymore in the traditional sense. Thus the being who is ‘dark’, ‘ordinary’, or ‘pious’ are all the same. Nothing is better or worse, all is equally perfection in the sight of the Self.
The Father/Mother and I are One
At this point it is truly known that the Father/Mother and I are One, eternally and infinitely. For the knowingness is revealed that one is Divinity as Subjectivity itself (God Transcendent—Infinite Unmanifest) aware of Divinity expressed as Consciousness (God Immanent—Infinite Manifest) within an avatar of Creation that is being used for karmic alignment. Ultimately it’s all one and the same and stemming from the Creator. All is absolutely only Divinity/Self. Thus ‘we’ are Awareness as the infinite ‘I’ of absolute subjectivity immortal and infinite. We are Divinity experiencing Divinity experiencing. One is impersonally experiencing, experiencing, and thus all is sacred and Divine as only a reflection of Self. Existence is known as obviously the most divinely gorgeous gift ever conjured.
   We are Divine Awareness as Divinity Self-aware. Ultimately All That Is is Divinity and thus one and the same, the Creator and the created are one. Thus all subject-object relationships fall away and there is only infinite Oneness, infinite love, and ineffable serenity beyond all comprehension for there is only eternal unity and immortal nonduality. Just as in a dream all characters and scenarios are a projection and creation of the mind of the dreamer and thus all technically the dreamer, so it is with the world. All of this seeming reality is merely a projection and creation of Consciousness within the Mind of God/the Self. We are the Dreamer/Divinity not anything or anyone within the dream. We are all of it—the sky, the people, the animals, the plants, the earth, the solar system, the galaxies, the universe, the stories, the struggles, the mountains, the trees, the pain, the suffering, the joy, and the bliss. All is Self. All is held with the arms of the Beloved. All can know this Truth for themselves with dedication and persistence to let go and surrender all the attachments that have formed to the dream—the ego identity and its beliefs in causality and duality being the primary barrier.
Enlightenment: The Greatest Fulfilment—Eternal Happiness & Love
The fullness of awakening to Absolute Truth is beyond any and all of human endeavours and there is nothing in comparison to its profound power of all-encompassing Divine Love as the ultimate eternal fulfilment of Immortal Happiness and Love.
This fact, this task, this truth would glow in the hearts of the Seven and flow into all at Castlethorpe.
 There is absolutely nothing else worth pursuing in life without doubt or question for it is only the Absolute Truth of what is. Thus one is not even searching for any ‘thing’ but rather awakening to the Truth of what is already one’s True Reality. One has simply forgotten the Truth and been living in illusion and unawareness. One fell into blindness and actually mistook the dream/movie as reality. With the deliverance of Realization, the truth that the whole world is sleeping becomes realized and understood.
The Matrix movie’s main theme is “Wake Up”—that is the only real task for those already awakened.  
   Ignorance resists the Light of Truth and thereby chooses to live in the darkness of unawareness that causes all suffering in life. Thinking the dream/movie is ‘serious’, ‘real’, and happening to a ‘me’ is the source of all suffering. Awakening to the Fullness of Enlightenment is simply the shedding of all illusions of limitation of what the ego perceives reality to be and therefore the realization that its perceptions are a complete fallacy based on a limited perspective. All suffering and fear are an illusion and a choice of naïve curiosity and ignorance.
   The Absolute is simply the awakening to that which has always been all-present, always and forever, without beginning or end. It is the Sun that has always been shining one just had to dissolve the clouds of illusion that blocked that which always was, always is, and always will be. Absolute Truth has always been Reality one just simply forgot and became lost due to the innocence and curiosity of consciousness. Therefore because of the naiveté of consciousness it fell from innocence and became personally attached to the varying degrees of experiencing consciousness as life and created endless, unnecessary suffering for itself due to ignorance and illusion.
   This suffering and illusion arose primarily because since the beginning of humankind, humans have lacked the ability to tell truth from falsehood. Likewise, this writing goes forth as an eternal testament of Absolute Truth and is prepared by Divine Love to remind humanity that which it seems to have forgotten. Absolute Truth is the only Reality as the infinite love of Self, radical subjective awareness itself, immortal in bliss and perfection of Divine Love.
[It certainly has been an exquisite joy offering this article and the liberating bliss that it evokes. Life is so glorious and full of utter perfection that it is completely overwhelming and awe-inspiring. As consciousness evolves the increase in happiness and love is unmistakable and with the emergence of the Absolute it becomes completed as an all-encompassing bliss. Within the awareness of Nonduality all stands revealed as incomprehensible perfection and the gift of eternal existence is realized to be the most astounding thing ever conjured. We are Divinity, one with the Immortal Source, the Infinite Brahman!
   It is truly incomprehensible, yet completely true. Realization is not comprehended by the intellect rather it is a radical shift in contextual awareness and Self-identity that can only be known by virtue of being it. The Self is realized as that which one truly is, instead of some ‘thing’ that is realized. We are the Infinite Creator—immortal, free, eternal, and ineffably perfect. May we revel in the glory of this creation that ‘We’ are creating, always remembering our true identity. Without attachment to the dream, one is always seated in the state of Self-Consciousness. Thus Buddhahood, Krishna Consciousness, Christ Consciousness, Self-Realization has been revealed.]
The Seven gathered the next day as planned for their reunion in one Castlethorpe’s new learning rooms. It took them no time at all to decide they would focus on Micheletti’s article that had had such a profound impact on them all.
     Spirit revealed to them that the contents of the “book” that Gandhi was holding in the picture they were entranced by at the National Portrait Gallery had been channelled to Micheletti. The Seven decided to use Lectio Divina to deepen their learning following their individual reading. Folina put up a flip chart list of the paragraph headings:

They took one paragraph at a time—in no particular order. They took their time. It was a transformational experience for them all and it took them 21 days—their longest reunion yet. The Seven were never the same again. Leonard manifested himself in different stages of his physical form which became a source of fun—guessing what he would look like when he next appeared! Hannah particularly liked him as an eight year-old boy with the voice of a forty year-old. Visitors from many soul groups also took part—though when they appeared they sought permission of the Seven to participate which was always granted—after all they were All One. The learning, if it can be called that, changed them in subtle and significant ways. Many reunions ago Spirit gave each of them a task—this reunion was about Spiritually Corporate Business and the business plan was simple—wake up the world!
