You Are The World

One classic approach to recognizing your true nature is to persistently reject all identification with the false - “not this, not that” - until nothing is left but that which is the true Self, that which is the silent witness to all that arises in consciousness.

But an opposite approach - much simpler, more direct, more immediate, and having far fewer pitfalls because it is fundamentally nondualistic in its assumptions - is to recognize that everything, both the witness and the witnessed, without any exceptions, are the Self, and that there is only the Self.

In other words, it is possible to recognize instantly and simply that there really isn’t any separation, that all is one, that everything is the Self, that you are the Self, that you are everything, and that you are the world.

(Beware: When you see the truth of this, you might laugh with delight at how obvious it is.)
