The
concept of oneness is hardly an original one. However, the question few
people ever ask is: What am I really one with? Although most of those
who do ask this question would say the answer is God, they then make the
error of assuming they and this universe were created in their present
form by the Divine. That is not true, and it leaves the seeker in a
position where even if he masters the mind, as Buddha certainly did, he will still not reach God in a permanent way.
Yes, he will achieve oneness with the mind that made the duality waves.
This mind, in a non-place that transcends all of your dimensions, is
completely outside the system of time, space, and form. This is the
logical and proper extension of non-duality, yet it is still not God.
It is, in fact, a dead end. Or better yet, a dead beginning.
This explains why Buddhism, which is obviously the world's most
psychologically sophisticated religion does not handle the issue of God.
It's because Buddha didn't handle the issue of God while he was still
in the body you call Buddha. It's also the reason we'll be making
distinctions between non-dualism and pure non-dualism. When Buddha
said, "I am awake," he meant he realized that he was not actually a
participant in the illusion, but the maker of the entire illusion.
Still, there is another step required, where the mind that is the maker
of the illusion chooses completely against itself in favor of God. Of
course someone of Buddha's tremendous accomplishment had a snap of it,
quickly going on to the exact same awareness as J. But this was done by
Buddha in a lifetime the world doesn't even know about.
