NOTE: This is Part One of a four-part series that presents, two stories many believe, my reasons for not believing them, and the story I believe. This first story is one of the oldest...
Some tell this story:
We’re not what we appear to be.
Our appearance is an illusion.
So is everything else.
This world is a dream.
Change is an illusion.
So is time.
There is no past.
There is no future.
Everything is now.
Separation is an illusion.
No this, no that.
This is that is this.
All One.
The One is divine.
This is God.
That is God.
We are God.
God is all there is.
Everything is Creator.
Everything is Sustainer.
Destroyer is everything too.
God, the Eternal Now,
is all that is.
The purpose of life:
Transcend your ego.
Transcend the illusion.
Withdraw.
Turn inward.
Escape reincarnation.
Find God. Know God.
As a drop of water
merges into the ocean,
merge into God.
Be God.
Many believe this story,
or a similar one.
Part Two of this four-part series tells a story others tell.
