The One

 Everything we look at contains everything else both within it, and in the way it appears. Each thing is a manifestation of the whole Universe in a unique and particular way. Because of this, we can learn of many different things simply by looking at one thing. 

Each thing is a manifestation of the One so the same nature runs through everything. In dealing with different things we actually deal with the same thing. The difference is entirely superficial, which is probably hard to believe. Not just superficial, but illusory. From the perspective of the One. The same thing is happening everywhere. The same nature and power unfolds evenly throughout the cosmos. It is the cosmos. 

We don't need to become completely free of identifying with limited form to realize this. There is no need to change anything about our experience or self to realize this. It is already our nature, for we are this One. It is all that is, it is independent of conditioned form. No thing ever really became conditioned. Nothing ever lost its infinite nature. The idea of limited conditioned form simply became dominant in particular areas in the Universe, and that infinite nature felt that it was falling into Darkness. This never actually happened. So we don't have to change, because we are irrevocably Infinite. 

Our mind does not have to change because we are not our mind. We are not our self as we know ourselves to be. We will know our true self when we see that who we are and what all things are is of the same nature, and that nature One and infinite. Here, we and all things are Infinity.  

Here we do not have a self as a self is known. It is like being a person  without a face. A mirror has replaced the face and it simply reflects everything that shines on it. Our personhood is empty of substance.
