The Illusion of Separation and Awakening in the Present

Grievances, Agreements of Realities, and the Healing That Comes from Within

The Illusion of Separation and Awakening in the Present

The present without burdens: nature existing in the now.

Dwelling in the present with absolute presence is the most healing movement that can exist. The wounds born from separation vanish, just like afflictions. You simply are, you only are, without distinguishing between the object and the observer.

In that precise instant, time is erased and even the perception of space and of whoever inhabits it disappears. There, in that stillness, resides the miracle, health, joy, and intelligent action, clean of any past experience. Remaining in the Being, I do not believe, I have certainty; the illusion of a body isolated from its environment simply ceases to exist. Everything is pure and infinite Consciousness.

However, we also experience this earthly reality, the product of multiple factors that likewise shape it. We transit governed by a bank of memories that we use to keep the individual apart from the rest. We carry intrinsically in our genes an instinct for safekeeping; it is an engine, an incentive for movement. But upon igniting that need for protection, fear is born and, with it, the imaginary border where I exist and the world exists.

Thus, we constantly oscillate between two states: operating from fear (Separation) or from love (Consciousness of Unity).

The Weight of Beliefs

As creator beings, we materialize what we believe in. Among groups of individuals, we form collective pacts to sustain those ideas, and those conventions end up sculpting our environment. Many of these memories are engraved in our DNA, a tacit and ancestral conditioning that becomes evident when observing how other species are born with already acquired instinctive behaviors. We inherit phobias whose origin we do not know, but which continue to affect us.

To this luggage we add our own misgivings. The mind quickly labels any situation to defend us as we grow, educate ourselves, pass through school or religion. We have functioned from fear, a deep inertia that irremediably reminds me of Plato’s cave allegory.

None of this is new in theory, we know it. But having remained for so long in that shadow, it is difficult to imagine Unity, where presence is a natural form of existence. Upon moving inward into ourselves, even if we have inhabited individuality, something within us recognizes the truth and pushes us toward seeking Completeness.

The problem arises when, not yet knowing how to differentiate or embody that love, we embark on the search blindly. We theorize about spirituality and put words to the ineffable. It is at this point that immense currents erect themselves upon the very same level of consciousness from which they attempt to escape.

We fall into them by inertia. We seek light through control and begin weaving superstitions to shield ourselves. We believe that another, through their energetic practices, has harmed us, and we trust in saving ourselves through rituals, knowing deep down that if someone is "saved," it is because another has been condemned. Anxiety takes the helm of spiritual practice, and without wanting to, we continue filling our sack with dogmas. We assume we act from the Being, when there is no defense there, only stillness. As long as there is a need for protection, there is separation; it is not yet Consciousness of Unity.

The Awakening of Realization

Sharing this does not seek to articulate yet another fracture. It is not about judging those who walk those methods, nor about creating a barrier between those who "know" and those who "do not." Everything, absolutely everything, belongs to totality. The very experience, with all its detours and mirages, leads us irremediably toward the recognition of what we truly are.

Nevertheless, it is an undeniable truth: the path becomes infinitely lighter the fewer armors we add to our backs and the more consciousness we place into dismantling the ones we already carry. This does not mean intellect or planning are despised, as they form part of our nature as humans; but without love, without Unity, life is incomplete. Even if it is theorized a thousand times, the only way is to experience it, to realize.

If we continue generating pacts grounded in superstition, this fragmented reality will remain active and present.

Only one question remains echoing in the air: What would happen in my city if every Being lived from presence for a single second? What would happen on Earth if every Being inhabited presence for a single second? If for a single instant we all agreed at once, this reality would be completely modified. Because wherever presence is established, this reality vanishes and becomes a simple illusion.

The original pulse of the text. Written in the stillness of the notebook.

Thank you for accompanying me in reading this intimate process. My only purpose in stripping these reflections bare is to offer a mirror in which we can look at each other together, to help us dismantle the most painful of our illusions: the belief that we are separated from our shadow, from the world, and above all, from love itself.

This recognition, however, is not exhausted in these lines. If this account has touched a chord within you, I invite you to continue this journey through the sounds of my music, or to immerse yourself in the pages of my book. There, this same philosophy abandons words to take on other textures, other melodies, designed to accompany you in your own return home. Because in the end, whether through ink on paper, a chord strummed in silence, or the full acceptance of our fear, we are all walking back toward the same ocean.
