not 1 not 2 but both


Where there is separateness, one sees another, smells another, tastes another, speaks to another, hears another, touches another, thinks of another, knows another. But where there is unity, one without a second, that is the world of Brahman. ...This is the supreme goal of life, the supreme treasure, the supreme joy.Those who do not seek this Supreme goal live on but a fraction of this joy...

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad

These things can happen all at the same time...but when we really merge there is nothing much there. It is striking that we do not know where we have been but the entire body and mind feels healthy and refreshed after. When on is back to normal, one has to struggle with the same imperfections. Maturity of the Being on this plane with normal day to day mind takes longer to accomplish and unconditional awareness states really are for one and all people.

Sometimes my heart beats loud when I think about the beloved. Yet, to set apart men and women is also not the not2 way, but for the energetic sense of clarity it is possible to see that aspect of the whole. At the end, we know that a bird cannot fly on one wing. Still the way we relate, especially when we evolve.... may go towards union and peace with each other under all circumstances.
