The Pretence Of Harmony

The pretence or facade of promoting harmony, where we all must think the same way, is actually promoting differences, so the opposite of disharmony is actually being achieved. Society is constantly being divided by pointing out differences.

That’s why people don’t actually talk to one another.
This non-happening is everywhere, even in ‘spiritual’ groups.
We adopt a side, and silently condemn others.

We are, first and foremost, pure consciousness, but not one consciousness joined at the hip. If that were so, we’d all agree – and we don’t 🙂

At the esoteric level, as pure consciousness, we are not different. We are one with whatever appears. That is harmony.

At the exoteric level, we express this in a unique way, with some more skilled than others.

The esoteric is absolute truth.
The exoteric is relative truth – the way we relate.

We are not a unity; we are a harmony.
To the enlightened, the mirror and the reflection are one.
To the unenlightened, the mirror and the reflection are separate.

The mirror is pure consciousness.
The reflection is the thoughts/memories in the mind that we like to talk about.
