Duality and Judgement

Separation is never the answer in any situation. There is a basic mode of thinking that the world follows right now, and it runs on separation. This is duality, and it can be seen in the concepts of good and bad, heaven and hell, right and wrong. If the interpretation is dual, then that means that there is something other than God, like Satan, that is just as real as Him.

This view has really caused many problems, not only for others but for themselves. It gives a sense of powerlessness, because of the belief that bad can sometimes overcome the good, and that darkness can put out the light. Percieving separation in any sense of the word is the only problem we have. If we could only see unity, that we would be seeing truly. There is only one God, so you must see only unity, wholeness, and completeness. Believing yourself to be an individual is a false perception. Since only God is, so you must be one with Him in reality, and not separate.

This false perception creates fear, pain, and all other negativities, because it is the belief of being separate from God. Another problem is having enemies. Seeing that there is good and bad in the world makes you believe that there are bad people in the world. This leads to blaming people for being sinners and evil people, so much so that we don't realize that they aren't really that way. Like I said, the desire for separation blinds us from the truth.

I find it funny that the two main philosophies of the Enlightenment were either that people are inherently good and become bad from world influence, or that people are inherently evil and become good through experience. They both use good and bad, and believe them to be equally true concepts. I have to say that they are equally untrue. We are actually the Son of God but identify with the ego, the false sense of individuality. We are inherently one, but become delusional and believe in separation.

This is not an issue about right and wrong. If we were sane, nothing truly desirable would come from separation, from good and bad. True perception brings unspeakable peace, joy, bliss, wholeness, and completeness. Once you know that there is no separation from God, you won't be so little and helpless anymore.

The prison system in the United States has become corrupt because of false perceptions. The US government has punished so-called "bad" people, and believes that to help. Not only have these "bad" people hurt themselves immensely, the prisons are doing even more damage to the prisoners and themselves. They hate these "sinners," and thereby cut themselves off from the Source. We are a Christian nation, so I would think that the teachings of Jesus Christ would be taken into consideration. He demonstrated for us that we should love everyone, even our "enemies." If we were doing that, then we would have psychotherapists available for the prisoners. We wouldn't be declaring death penalty!

You could say that the US seems to rather throw away the prisoners instead of recycle them. I would rather call us the Separate States of America; the United States is a lie. If we call ourselves the United States, then let's awaken to our unity!
