Unity versus Separation

“What are we exactly here for then?” those were the words that came out of my friend's mouth during our bus ride to work. “Like really, if God knows everything that I am thinking and going to think,  then what’s the point of this? Why do you think we are here?”... Silenced by the question for a moment, I suddenly felt an answer formulating inside me and the answer was, “Well, yeah sure, that which you call God knows all things, but the purpose of life is nothing more than for us to live out what God knows. Everything is already known, so we are here to live and experience the knowing of that which is known.” Silence came upon us for a moment to process the craziness that had just come out of my mouth. He then further asked, “So where do you think we go when we die, where does heaven and hell really fit in?” I then laid out my answer in this manner: “the purpose of life is to experience the diverse unity of all things. And that separation is an illusion that is placed before us to lead to the truth of oneness.”  He then replied and said, “No, I don’t think so. I think we are here to separate the good from the evil. And the good will have their own place and the bad will have their own. The purpose of life is to separate.” Which reminded me of some line in the bible about sheep and goats ...

MATTHEW 25:31-46
"When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 
32. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.33. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:...” blah blah blah.. (lol i sounded like a goat right there!!)
...I then reflected the truth of relativity that, the moment you completely separate the good from bad then the good ceases to be good for there is nothing for it to be good from. Once up disappears so does down. So once the good are grouped together by themselves, then the good are no longer good, but just are.  The same it is with the bad, they no longer are bad, but just are... Everything, ultimately, is just is. In God’s eyes all is one.

Have you ever wondered why whenever you push against anything automatically there’s that gut feeling of discomfort or that it just feels hard or tough than when you seek to embrace something? That is because that which is God, embraces all things. All life experiences and calls them good because they are the essence of Him/Her. Where there is a “pushing against” or separation there is loss of power meaning invariably loss of God, for God is power and Power is life, and so anything that pushes against unity, which is power, will always result in destruction. Nations (parties) have risen through unity, and fallen with separation.

Separation vs Unity
Diversity vs Conformity
Heaven vs Hell
In love unity is born, and diversity is embraced as a heavenly state. Where as through fear, separation tramples upon diversity and seeks for conformity leading to destruction.

One is always based in fear the other in love, and each gives rise to difference outcomes.

That which we call God is for unity not separation. For in separation there’s rise of destruction, and destruction is often brought by man in his attempt to separate that which is inseparable. In separation lies destruction in unity lays power. That is why when more are gathered in unison for a specific cause they are powerful, regardless of the motive. Unity breed power, yet man is caught in the constant battle of uniting against separation which becomes the back and forth dance he plays with himself. That which is God will not – cannot – separate that which we call good from that which we call bad for the simple reason that God knows all things and is in all things, not some. A unifying energy between all Spirits – all life form.


So linking this with the quote that i stated from the bible, I will say this; whether you believe God will separate the sheep from the goats, the weed from the wheat or any other cleverly constructed phrase you may conjure to perpetuate the idea of separation, that's for your own counsel . My point  is just this :God is for Power, God is Power. God is for unity; God is Universal. Wherever there is unity, there is Power, there is God. And where that power of unity will be directed becomes the question posed upon all humanity. Will it be for separation and destruction, or for unity and empowerment?

Business 101: Becoming an Investor.

What is one of the key disciplines that any successful corporation practises? INVESTING. Every business relies on investing for success, and for the incredibly successful businesses they invest like crazy; in R&D, and product lines. Heck, even our own economy relies on investors in order to grow. So why not be an investor. Probably the first and almost immediate objection to this suggestion is "I don't have money to invest." And I for one, am completely in agreements with that. However, why not invest the one resource that you always have at your disposal - TIME . That's right. Invest your time. Ah, suddenly it seems so obvious now doesn't it, but would you like to guess on how many people actually overlook this important fact? (By the way, this is can well be a lecture on time management). And since all investment have the dominant factor of Time in them, why not begin by turning your focus on this one incredible resource and use it to your personal investmen

Generation eXcellence

I was reading some wonderful notes from Robin Sharma's Little Black Book of Stunning Success ( http://www.robinsharma.com/leadership-best ) and a thought crossed my mind: have we settled for mediocrity in our society?  Have we  allowed ourselves to tolerate mediocrity in our lives, because the truth is we interact with the aspects of the world which match our own standards. We see the world not as it is but as we are . How often do we offer less than our best to the quality of relationships with ourselves and things.? Are we allowing the quality of our lives be compromised due to what everybody else is doing? This is even evident  to how we  treat nature. The care with which we have for our natural environment is something of grave concern, and many defend this mediocre behaviour with "everybody else is doing it." and the worst one yet, "We are creating jobs for others"  Have we accepted mediocrity to be the order of our generation's existence?

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” ~ Gandhi.  How often have you had the thought of changing the world? If you are anything like me, I have it more often than I have a glass of warm milk with cookies (okay that’s wacky...anyway). Or maybe it is something more like,” how can one act make a difference?” but all to often for many people another thought creeps in, “Who am I? I am just a small drop in the ocean.” (see the picture on the left) Or, “It takes a really special, gifted, and powerful person to even think of changing the world. And “ I am neither special nor gifted, let alone powerful.” If you think you are too small to make a difference, try going to sleep with the mosquito in the room" ~ Dalai Lama Like me, you’ve probably have looked at legendary people who are making it and thought, “what is it that they have that I don’t or lack.” And the answer is – they have the conviction that they can make a difference; that they are an immense and integral part
