I think everybody's looking for
something that they already have I think
the reason that we don't notice it is
because we are so distracted by the
human levels of our experience it might
not actually be what you think you are
the fact that we are already in light
we're already complete and it's just
realizing that you're complete so
everything we do to each other or
everything we see each other is us
seeing ourselves and yet the one thing
that remains is this feeling of
existence I'm not a human being that has
consciousness
I'm consciousness that is shaped into a
human being all of us are energy a human
being is a very complex pattern of
energy I always have been that energy
and I always will be that energy I know
this conceptually why don't we feel it
and just like an ocean is water in
motion we can call a certain part of
that ocean a wave but it gives us the
illusion that the wave is a separate
entity in the ocean but a wave is not in
the ocean a wave is the ocean and
similarly we might not be waves maybe
we're the ocean maybe all of us are
energy and we can realize that directly
all suffering is based on the illusory
separation that there's an individual in
the environment that there's a person
that has to survive but this specific
collection of a thousand trillion
trillion atoms has to hold itself
together but if I realize directly that
I am energy and I realized that the body
and the mind are a temporary
manifestation of that energy then I can
fully accept the death of the body and
mind as something that does not happen
to me because I was always energy and I
always will be

ego tries to convince us we need to get
something this immortality that we
already possess ego is the voice in your
head that says you're not as good as
that other person maybe you need to do
something else to make yourself better
to add to yourself you know and and
that's what it constantly is doing it's
trying to keep you from being you and me
right now loving this and loving this
life once you realize you're complete
then then this life and everything in it
becomes a play of form something to toy
with and play with and make something
good out of and and it really isn't to
be worried about it's to have fun with
you know everyone is looking for God and
everyone is God and that everyone is it
it's just now what do you want to do and
what you realize that and there's
nothing you need it's just play you know
nothing you do is gonna had anything to
you right and nothing you do is gonna
take anything away from you so it really
is nothing to do except clay and so the
only moment that mattered to us is right
now I think this experience is so
important and powerful that every
religious tradition at its core has been
trying to convince us of its importance
and if it's true if the true end of all
human psychological suffering is
actually possible it is the most
important thing science could be
studying maybe it's possible that within
our lifetimes we could actually
eradicate human suffering and what would
the world look like then if every single
one of us felt complete the whole and
felt interconnected
when you let go of individual survival
all of your priorities change because
you actually see the entire world as
your body you see the suffering of
others is your own suffering and you
want to help
maybe the one thing that keeps us from
actually solving all of the other
problems in the world is this persistent
flawed thought that we are separate from
the world and maybe it's time we change
our minds
