Ending the belief in separateness

A calm seascape at dusk with wide grey clouds stretching over soft blue water, suggesting spaciousness and wholeness

 The undeniable fact that we are relational is revealed in the most basic realities of life.

Without breathing, without eating, without drinking, without shelter, without passing urine or opening our bowels, without sweating – we die.

Relationship is not optional.
It is what we are.

So if we are relationship, what makes the belief in separateness so strong?

This question matters, because the illusion of separateness feeds a self-centered movement built on past, present, and future – the story of an “I” believed in the name of time.

How does a belief end?

One can see that the heart does not exist outside of its relationship with the lungs – that it is only a construct of thought, with no independent existence apart from the other “parts” of the body that thought itself created.

How can a part become aware of its own non-existence?

Would this require not believing any thoughts at all?
