What Resonates

When you have lost something you look anywhere and everywhere to find it. Seekers know something is missing. Unfortunately they don't know exactly what it is. So, we start looking with what we have. Since all of us are unique and have very different conditioning, we start with what we think is true, or useful and go from there. Therefore every path is different. One shoe does not fit all. 

In the end, intention to know, to understand, drives us towards what in the end we call grace. All roads lead to Rome, so wherever you go, however you go, persistence pays off. Never give yourself away to a teacher. Their only authority is what resonates with you. Remember you are the one who gives the authority to any teacher, guide, or guru, and follow only as long as the message resonates. Move on when it doesn't. In the end your only hope is to become your own authority. It is the discovery. I am that.

Oneness

Oneness can make nothing except from itself. As created, I can be nothing but that Oneness. When I identify as that which created this universe, I am in essence That. Fear tends to dissipate, suffering lessens, and trust in the unknown becomes normal. Synchronicity increases and life becomes an adventure.

Duality / Non duality

Duality is the common notion that we and others and the outside world are separate things. Sages and mystics throughout time have insisted that the world in non dual, intuiting that in essence, everything is part and parcel of one source. One may call that source God, or nature or mind. Advaita Vedanta is the ancient Eastern philosophy on non duality (not two). Analytical Idealism is the Western philosophy of non duality. These philosophies contend that all is one mind and that the appearance of separation is an illusion created for the Source of all to enable experience.
