THE WALLS OF SEPARATENESS
The Walls of Separateness are vast and ancient; constructed from the dark substance of ignorance, fortified over centuries by fear and prejudice. Yet, as massive and daunting as these structures may be - they are not real. They are part of that which is called the grand illusion – the illusory belief that we are isolated, autonomous segments bound by aspects of our diversity.
In truth, the Walls of Separateness are as dust. All that is needed is to shine the slightest filament of the light of truth upon these man-made barriers and they will crumble; for all that is created by ignorance always withers in the light of truth.
Yet, there is a false sense of security within the Walls of Separateness - the security that comes from sameness - the security that comes from the pride of identifying exclusively with one aspect of our diversity. That pride often the source of arrogance – that arrogance so often accompanied by ignorance - that ignorance the strength that erects and fortifies the Walls of Separateness.
However, make no mistake about the nature of these walls, they are man-made and can only be dismantled by humankind. The strength needed for this laborious undertaking, the strength generated by the recognition of our unity.
So how do we begin to dismantle the Walls of Separateness?
We begin to bring down these man-made constructs with awareness. The specific awareness that the Walls of Separateness are formed of two essential elements – fear and prejudice.
