I Am You
July 25th, 2007 by Pete
The practical difference this discovery makes to your relationships is immense and cumulative. In fact, what it comes to is that you aren’t ‘related’ in any way to anyone: you are that one.
In contrast to the self-regarding and sentimental and very choosy love (so-called) much cultivated on Earth, this is the true love of Heaven, and it is love of all. Here, undiscriminating love is one’s very Nature.
When I really attend, when I’m honest with myself, I find it impossible to wash my hands of the wickedest or stupidest or most contemptible or saddest creature in the world.
It is not a case of, “There, but for the grace of God, go I” but of “There go I — into the prison cell, into the psychiatric ward, on to the scaffold, no less than happier places” — for the simply but truly devastating reason that Who I really, really am is what you and all others really, realy are.
