Individualism is Illusion

The Way of One: Individualism is Illusion is a 170 page trade paperback that will lead you to the truth of the One unifying being from which all individualizations of Itself, including you, come into being. You are divine because you’re of the divine, and the essence of you is immortal. There is no division at the base of your being, only Being; only inseparability from the One of which everything and everyone individuates. Only through knowing the One may anyone know their true nature, and, by the revelation of contrast, come to know how humanity is lorded over by divide and conquer lies.
The author chose to format his book for the smaller trade paperback size (4.25″ by 7″) because its handiness just feels right; it’s more portable, easier to hold, easier to share, and easier to produce and distribute. The PDF of the book is freely provided below, because the author believes that it’s the reading of the work and its freeing value to the tradition-bound-and-burdened readership that’s most important, regardless of compensation or even his ability to survive.

A collection of spiritual but not religious passages to put you on the path to knowing the One, such as:
We’re Ones of the One
Written at 1:11
We’re not originators, we’re highly sophisticated receivers and processors. Nothing that we experience, and nothing that we create, are we ourselves the source of. Everything is a unique experiencing of and re-creation of the One thing that always has been and always will be. This form of your self is within creation, destruction and spacetime. The formless Self from which every self springs exists free from creation, destruction and spacetime, and isn’t subject to them. Thus the duality of Self, the Singular Self and Its infinite selves, the immortal, undying part of you that’s everywhere, everything and everyone experiencing Itself as being somewhere, as a definite mortal ‘person’ inhabiting a body in spacetime. By our experience of being is Its Being embodied, and by our mortality is its immortality made invaluable. For only by seeming to end is the experience of being valued. And only through Its being is matter made to matter. Matter was made of Its eternal energy for the sake of infinite forever evolving ones of the One Being. We are Infinite of One.

The Light Chose the Darkness
Why the Immortal One Became Infinite Mortality
We can never know true freedom as human beings, because we’re born into a bondage chosen by our source Self, aka ‘God.’ For true freedom is to: (1) be invulnerable (2) be subject to no one and nothing, unless desired, and (3) have no need. That part of you for which these qualities don’t exist is thus bound by their absence, defining your relative lack of freedom. No self can know otherwise. Rather, these are the three qualities of God, or Spirit, the truly free source Self that CHOSE bondage. For the divine secret is that perfect freedom is a misery that mortals can never know, and that some bonds are necessary in order to avoid the absolute misery of an existence devoid of meaning and value BECAUSE it’s singular and everlasting. It’s a particular mode of existential suffering that mortals are incapable of.
We can scarcely conceive of suffering singularism, much less experience or understand it. Can you conceive of existing as the one and only thing in existence? Can you conceive of never beginning, and having no end? Can you conceive of space being relative only to that which exists in one constrained area of spacetime, and big banging space in order to allow an infinity of your oneness? Can you conceive of matter only mattering as a means to exist in that spacetime? To be divine is to be of an all-composing-and-encompassing, pure, irreducible energy that needs not matter nor spacetime nor sustenance nor egotistic conception to survive. The One made Itself infinite in order to escape an eternity of oneness. It made itself into the means for infinite forms of formlessness because It was lonely. Thus It gave birth to the existential basis of infinite forms of Its formlessness.
Divinity is to be both beyond as well as the source of spacetime, energy and matter, the source and inspiration of all creation that isn’t subject to anything or anyone, including destruction. Our freedom as mortal beings is thus known relative to our closeness to God. Only when we have no fear, no need, and don’t feel subject to the pressures and constraints of others and ourselves (the needs and limitations of our bodies and minds) are we in the realm of divine freedom. Freedom is known relative to our nearness to our own divine center, to the God reigning in the heart of the bodily vessel, perceived and translated by the mind. The closer we are to the singularity within the infinite plurality, that point where the finite, mortal, egotistic self dissolves into the infinite, immortal, egoless (i.e. ‘enlightened’) Self, that unchanging oneness which God escaped via the Big Bang, the closer we are to the three aforementioned aspects of freedom via the divinity that we host within our invaluably infinite variance.
All sense of vulnerability, everything that we believe that we need, and all forces, persons and institutions to which we’re subject (including our own egotistic, illusory ideas of ourselves as independent beings), everything that pulls us outside the ceaseless central eye of the storm of selfhood into the ceaselessly recycling, violent vortex of endless reformation and redefinition of self is the basis of our bondage (our non-freedom). It’s ironic that most people fear death as though it’s an ending when we were made for the value of ending.
And yet love is the greatest vulnerability of all, and is the revelation of the bridge between the self and the Self: the part of the Self that’s innate to and most immanent within every self. It’s the evocation of oneness forever underlying the illusion of plurality; the ground of being. Hence the answer to the great paradoxical mystery of existence: the Self, God, choosing to bind Itself to selfhood so as to appreciate existence. Life is only sweet, and we only fear to be deprived of it, and we only cling to and value it BECAUSE it ends. Mythologically, every immortal seeks mortality.
Spacetime and matter are Self-impositions imposed for the sake of making existence invaluable through the quality of being broken into finite fragments of endless variance and perspective of being that end relative to themselves, to the self, as infinite facets of an eternal, indestructible Self. So we find that infinity has no value without the finite; that mortality makes immortality have meaning; that death is the redemption of life; that pain and suffering potentiate pleasure and ecstasy. The light CHOSE the darkness, without which it has no value, no quality, no purpose, only the singularity of Self.
