"Unity is a truth. The truth is, there's only ultimately one. All this diversity we see - and there's great diversity and great uniqueness! But underlying it, the essence of all of it is conscious spirit. Conscious spirit is what everything is. Spirit is what everything is. Spirit is what's expressing itself. When you look around you, what you're really seeing is the expressions of ineffable spirit. That's what you're seeing. No matter what you see, no matter what you experience, it's really a manifestation of spirit.”
- Adyashanti, Basic Teachings
I'm responsible for posting a picture of two men arguing. (We've all seen this, so we can imagine it.) For a moment there was a glimpse of seeing the whole nasty mess as an expression of unity. This does not justify violence. It's a mysterious bittersweetness.
The new image is “Arjuna told Krishna to take the chariot to the center of the field between the opposing armies so that he could observe both sides and get an overall picture of the situation before the battle commenced."
