Chapter 32: Ultimate Illumination

Or: "Pig-Headed Assumptions Made in a Drunken Stupor While Driving Over the Speed-Limit In A School Zone Without any Regard for the Well-Being of Others"
At the core of this life is a direct experience of the "Oneness" we share with everything. The Whole Being that is and always will be the Entire Universe.
But this oneness is often missed because we think it is somehow "special, holy, or unattainable." These imaginary qualities we attribute to the Oneness are entirely irrelevent and unecessary. The sensation of oneness, or Cosmic Unity, is ever-present, and we do not lack it in any way. Even the common misconception that we are lonely individuals on a lonely planet is a part of this essential unity. Our ability to form opinions in any way whatsoever is purely magical, unexplained, beyond belief, and AT LEAST proof that there is intelligence somewhere else in the universe.
Your ordinary, everyday sense of consciousness is an expression of the divine universal life force. The very quality of being "ordinary" is made possible by the living, divine ACTUAL universe. You lack absolutely nothing, and your very sense of lacking is made possible by your automatic unity with the Ultimate Intelligence.
It isn't about believing in God or anything like that. Our ability to believe anything; our ability to think and feel and experience; these are all qualities of being human that are given to us by something unknown. It doesn't matter what name you give to this unknown intelligence. Simply acknowledge your own existence, your own life. Think of how strange it is that you are here at all; and how much more likely it would be that you never existed at all.
PART TWO
The living view of light and energy as it is seen through our eyes and minds is united with an Ultimate Subjective Experience (ie. God, Brahman) so complex that it has convinced itself that it contains billions of individual units that are also able to have subjective experiences.
In other words, "What is the result of subtracting the universe from itself?"
In the Physical World, Outer Space is the manifestation of complete darkness, and a Star is the symbol of complete illumination. All of Everything contains this basic relationship to itself.
By "Living View of Light & Energy As Seen & Experienced Through Our Eyes & Mind" we mean the exact experience that you are having right now. This is proof enough of a reality for most people. This is waking consciousness. This is the illusion of separate-ness we have while Being with the All of Everything.
These words may sound spiritual or religious (or just plain bat-shit crazy), but the concept of "Being" here is used as a symbol for waking consciousness, a state of mind that most people admit is somewhat realistic. The words "All of Everything" are used to convey the sense of infinity that we all have in our minds.
Whether or not you actually believe in something called "infinity," you at least have a sense of what it is like. You assume, for example, that the world extends beyond the borders of your own perception instead of simply ending where you cannot see and hear any further. By realizing the finite nature of your own awareness, you consider the infinite possibilities beyond it.
And the closest representation of Infinity that we have is our own mind and its capacity to represent whatever we think of. The nature of thought seems most closely related to the nature of light than anything else. Thoughts change and flow in a way that is different from light, but thoughts have the basic weightlessness and non-being that light has (in the realm of all perceptible objects).
Interestingly enough, all perceptible objects are known first and foremost by their corresponding light-image that we see. Or, if we are blind, their enegetically determined feeling (ie. Hard, Soft, Big, Small, Hot, Cold, Sharp, Dull, etc.)
=Happens All At Once-
"It is now 4 in the Afternoon" is another way of saying, "during its continuous rotation, the Earth was facing the Sun in a way that caused all visible shadows to point in the direction of slightly southeast."
