One Experience, two perspectives

What blows me away all the time is the realization that we all share the same Experience. When it dawned upon me it literally took away all confusion.

I literally mean that we share this One Experience at all times, at all situations. What became clear is that whether we hold a personal view or a larger impersonal perspective, we all roam around inside this common Experience. We share the exact common traits of this experience of life. So we can actually say that we experience the same thing as the other next to us. That's what we usually call emphathy but it stems from literally experiencing the same thing simultaniously.

The liberating thing though, was the ability to see the difference between what view we adopt at any given time. Depending on situation we all naturally adopt a personal or impersonal view to fit the occasion. This happens most naturally. When I speak to you, you easily respond in a personal manner. When we view the world or a larger context, we easily comprehend it in an impersonal way.

Most of all ignorance or con-fusion happens when we mix them up, or “fuse” them together (con-fuse) and can't tell them apart. Or when we harbour ideas of one being inferior or less true than the other. As when we side with the Absolute side of life and deem this manifest realm as lesser or apart from an Absolute perspective.

Sharing this One Experience all the time does not mean that we understand everything everybody else understands, but we recognize our joint experience and because of it find no separation or limits to our “communion”. Freedom lies in this mutual recognition, from where all communication can begin and exploration find no limits.

This One Experience reveals our common Mind, our joint Body and our true Nature or Spirit.

The relative, or personal, fits right in. It does not contend nor does it interfere with this One Experience of ours.

Any thoughts?

If we both look up, we say the same word…”sky.” But then I say it is blue and even. Then you say it is dark with stars in it. We say sky but that sky does not appear in the same way to any two people. Someone else says it is orange with clouds. Now three may be confused. But if we change places we say “Oh!” I see what you mean.

One Mind has to be implemented as we communicate. It has to be implicit. Wanting to realize this unified perspective gives direction in our engagement. It is an inner mutual experience, to be shared as we commune. To be realized in action together with others.

We all can experience One Mind by our self, but to realize it together with others is something all-together different. That's the challenge, to strive for, to endavour, to bring about a new, more holistic, more complete, more inclusive awareness.

We can do this simply in writing like this to each-other. We need not to hold to differing views and opinions. We can simply be with what is true, before we make a distinction about our own prejudice.

I hear what you say and I do not dis-agree but I am trying to convey a joint experience that we share now, not in the distant future. This still may be true even if we do not yet understand it.
