Concluding Synthesis of the Path:

Thus, we are one. We realize that our knowledge is a function of whatever we label mind operating through the aegis of our triune brain and its mentations.

We know our realization through our knowing, a function of being Everything-Is-Right-Here-Now. Thus, we sense our self-identity as absolute contradiction. We know that we know we predicate upon that we experience. That we experience we predicate upon the phenomenal realm. We know and have knowledge that all the atoms that comprise our phenomenal being have always been in existence, having never been not in existence and that we are now using them to inform our so-called physical structure. Thus, have we always been since the Universe is. And thus, are we the phenomenal realm.

We know we are one — that there is no essential self, no true nature, no soul, no body, no mind, no thought. We recognize that these are concepts we have formed and labeled to give accord to those of us still functioning in our thought that we are. There is no this and no that, there being only being — that we are.

We, being one, knowing that we does not mean human, per se, but only includes human. We is everything that is and is not. There is no difference or no distinction. Nor is there not any difference or distinction. We call into phenomenal being what we are, we let it be. Fiat. This calling is the statement of our responsibility. How we do it is that we do it. Very simply, we let it be in the same way we let ourself sleep. We do it.

Our so-called physical possessions are not ours individually, but ours wholly. We are conscious awareness. We sense, if we are open and lost to our ego, our penetrating all of existence and non-existence with knowing acumen. We participate or share in what we label physical existence with everything and everyone else that is and is not. Thus, we realize that all we need to do is ask, and we receive, for we are that as well — we are what we ask for and what we receive.

We ask for our blindness and our ignorance and we receive it. We ask to see and we see. We ask for money or what we call metaphysical insight or satori, and we receive it, for we are money and satori. We ask, though, not from the mentation of our mind in brain, but from that we are, transcending mentation, the subject matter of metapersonal psychology. Thus, we manifest into being not only that we are, but what we are, how we are, where we are, when we are, and why we are. We are the sum totality of our Being-Every-Thing-That-Is-Right-Here-Now. Likewise, we manifest into being all that we are not, that we are not rich, but poor or not poor, but rich; not loving, but alienating or not alienating, but loving. We realize that we are each according to our own being in Being Itself. We eventually see that we are neither rich nor poor, loving nor alienating. We sense unconditionally that we are and this can take responsibility for what we are, demonstrating our integrity, our inherent unity of thought, purpose, and action without known duality.

Now, we are present to our integrity — our integrity being integrity of the cosmos as one reality complete in all its parts forming a whole greater than the sum of its parts. We are the integrity of the created and uncreated universe. When we are able to answer for who we are — the integrity of the cosmos in all its parts and non-parts, do we take responsibility for our being-in-the-world-in-universe. We are universe, the sum totality of everything that is and is not, has ever been, is, can be. and will ever be — unconditionally, with full and absolute positive regard.

We recognize that there is no reasonable understanding of our reality — for our reality is a function of our being and not a function of our knowledge, i.e., intellectual or rational faculty. Once we know that we are — without thought, feeling, or emotion — we know we are the essence of everything that is and is not, has been, can be, and will ever be. We transcend our thought, feeling, or emotion that we are and be who we are. Thus, do we consciously let it be — whatever we are choosing to manifest here and now (including our own humanity, whole or in part). Thus, we know we are not who we think or feel we are in any size, shape, or form.

We know we are Being Itself.

Om Shanti.
