Many philosophers throughout history have pondered on this question? What is the Truth, what is our reality?
When science has got involved in the mystery of life, they have concluded that everything in existence and the Universe is made up of matter or energy (hence discovering Quantum Physics). Films have now been made about this discovery, (like the SECRET) and (What the Bleep~~ do we know). In these films, many of the Quantum Scientists believe that the Energy in and around us, is able to respond to us, and has consciousness.
This Consciousness or thinking energy that is in us and all around us; Films like Star Wars, talks of the “Force” and when the Jedi Masters were trying to explain what the force is to their students, it was similar to the description above. Energy (a Force, within us) and around us in everything, in living entities and matter.
We as humans are not separate from nature or the Universe, but a part of it. Just like the a drop of rain is part of the vast ocean, so too, we are part of something larger than ourselves, we are a section of the Universe, and without you, the Universe would incomplete.
THE END OF FEAR
Fear arises when we believe ourselves to be a singular object separate from the whole, and therefore in a constant state of compare and contrast to other objects around ourselves, competing for money, cars, wealth and the best life. As we believe ourselves to be alone and separate from the whole, we try to protect oneself from danger and threats, thinking that other humans and animals are potentially dangerous, and this causes our fear!.
If we could change our understanding of this perspective to include everyone and everything as ourselves, we would relieve some of this fear, knowing that the other object or person you fear is you, “ONE LOVE, ONE HEART” (BOB MARLEY).
Enlightenment, is a realisation that you are something beyond name and form, you are the energy that exists in all living matter, you are what exists after you dissolve barriers of separateness. The conclusion, is there is nothing to fear in reality, as what you are is everything in form and in the formless. Enlightenment is sort after, but you don’t need to spend 30 years in meditation to come to this realisation.
