Saturday "One with all"

How do we know that we are one with everything? Many of us feel it, some sense it but don't know what it is, and others just know it by not judging anything. Even when we say, "Well, I just don't give a damn", is judgment. Why? Because what can be taken from this is, "I could care less what your crap is and you're on your own." Really, they're on their own? Who's out there anyway? No one is alone, we face ourselves everyday.

My realization of oneness with everything came the day that I could witness another person's suffering without becoming attached to the drama and look on them lovingly without a single thought that they would be okay, that they were going to make it, that they were no longer reflecting anything back to me; but rather that I did care because I loved them. Caring doesn't mean that you get sucked in, caring doesn't even imply doing something, it simply means letting go, letting go of all judgment to say this is worthy or not worthy of my time. If it's in front of you it's you. But as soon as anyone says, "I just don't care anymore", hold on for you're in for a ride for you are going to greeted lovingly with something that you do care about.

So whether it's our body and the belief that we should be doing this or that or that another person should not be doing something because we don't see it as part of the path just threw us back into the illusion. No one person is better than another from the foods or lack of that they eat, no one person is better than another because they feel more pure, it's only your own realization of where you are. Even Buddha knew this much when he ate with others. He placed no judgment on what was offered to him, even when he knew it was going to mean his death. Look at how symbolic that is for all of us. That someone so enlightened died because of food. I'm just saying reflect on what this stands for. I know I have and have come to realize that I divided myself so many times over that my body wasn't this or that and that I needed to eat this way or that way. Really? What was God wanting? Why did I limit myself like that? Because I thought that it would empower me!

So how do I eat now? I eat what I am completely lead to eat without any doubt. I embrace the experience of the foods completely and stop when I am done. So how have I gone from "one with all" to food. We are one with everything. As we were driving along the road I realized that everything that I take into my body is me. If I judge it as good or bad I am telling myself I am good or bad. If I say to myself this food is better for me then this food, what I am saying is I am better this way then others. OMG....this was a very profound experience for me. What happens now? I'll be more open to witness my foods as myself and understand the life within everything.

Blessings to you all.
