Separation is the only problem in existence. Whatever comes from separation will not express reality. The core framework of human beings is based on separation, which is the source of all discord. From our everyday experiences to our religious belief systems, separation is always involved. Why is separation so harmful? It brings attention away from the only thing that undoubtedly exists: yourself.
Separation in no way can help. Yeah, you could say that America separating from the motherland is a good thing, but corruption could have never happened if there was no separation in the first place! To see any difference between two things leads to being subject to dualities. Duality never brings happiness because it is the rule that if you feel up at any time, you will consequentially feel down later. You cannot be eternally happy.
What is important to realize is that separation does not exist. If it truly did, then we could not escape our painful, stressful lives. But is actually impossible for unity to not exist. How could life itself be a horrible thing? We only forget that we are alive when we are dwelling in the mind of separation. When we step into a state of being, we feel our aliveness. And only then does everything become one and equal.
One thing that people do in attempt to escape their distress is become religious, but they are likely to be stuck in separation. It still takes them away from their awareness of being, and their attention is fixed to an object perceived outside themselves. God is the main example of delusional separation. How so? When we think of God, we do not tend to think of ourselves. We think of something out there, separate from us. But how can a power outside of you, out there, serve as a foundation for yourself, who is within, who is right here?
There is an aspect of Jesus that I believe to be true expression of his message. Where he speaks of unity and equality, of right here, instead of separation. The Kingdom of God is within you. I and the Father are one. He was speaking to Jews in a way that fulfills their law, so he must use the word God. He is saying that he is God, and people believe it. But you are that God as well! He has said it! Forget about the God who is there and not here. That view of God is the equivalent of believing in Zeus, or the "teapot orbiting the sun." That is the tyrant God seen in parts of the Bible. There is no evidence. It is separation, and only brings about fear.
Speaking of fear, whenever you practice prayer or meditation, do not even think of anything separate from you. This could bring about the fear of demons or personal guilt and inferiority. A weak presence comes about from the belief of a Father, Son, or Holy Spirit outside of you. It pulls you away from the reality, which is only that of being. The awareness of unity and equality comes from realizing that you are everything. There is no evidence of an existing God or hell through belief or faith, but only a manifested thought form of that belief. Perfection comes when you finally realize the "I AM THAT I AM" that you are, with no separation or division involved.
