A Spiritual Illusion

-          Laibl Wolf, Dean, Spiritgrow - The Josef Kryss Wholistic Centre, Australia

Kabbalah leveraged this message: all is One. We are in constant states of inter-relationship. There are no states of ‘separateness’. There are no gaps between concentrations of matter. These are filled with consuming energy. There are no gaps between the petals of a rose. These ‘spaces’ are dusted with a  cacophony of fragrance. There is no gap between you and me.  An ever-changing kaleidoscopic consciousness field embraces us.

Spiritual energy coagulates into concentrated forms: humans, animals, plants and things. These appear for the briefest sub-set of infinite time – for 120 years, for a few months, for a brief micro-second. All time is naught in the face of infinite. Sometimes the energy-space simmers and bubbles in the heat of estrangement and fear. At other times its soft undulating spiritual landscape stills, softly basking in the entrancement of love and connectedness.  

Words are so poor. How can I, a finite human being, begin to speak about the non space of Oneness? Trapped as we are in the consciousness fields of discrete moments, of an uneven but ongoing now, we can only stutter sounds of inner awareness – that all is One, that what our seemingly mundane and ordinary lives experience is really a spiritual illusion.

There is a treasure chest of insight entombed within the mortal heart. Words are poor containers for its expression. If it could be pried open our seeming separateness from each other would shimmer and disappear, like the entry of Stargate or when the voice says ‘Scotty, beam me up’.  So many people and nations smart from myopia – oblivious of their higher consciousness. In truth, we are projections from the same Source. We are brothers and sisters. If only we basked in the brightness of the other, then there would no longer be strife, quarrel, war and carnage. Nation would not lift sword against nation, nor would they practice war any more.

How can we part this curtain of illusion – the purposeful sleight of hand of the holy Magician? Through deep meditation and profound contemplation. The Chabad masters call this hitbonenut. Then could we carry the refined spiritual postures with us wherever we go.  At least we should strive to hear the echo of that meditation and recall the aura of that contemplation. This is 24/7 spiritual work of consciousness and awareness to arouse the sensitivity to mutual respect, profound appreciation, and deep love.

We must strive beyond the illusion of separation. We must allow the mind’s inner-knowing to overcome the veil of insecurity and fear of separation.

In the year 2448 of the Torah calendar, time stood still and space was undressed. We were rewarded with a brief glimpse beyond the veil of illusion. This experience was encoded onto our psyche. Since then that encrypted truth dominates the soul seeking its freedom. Free it and the tipping point of creation will have been reached.
