The witness

 
We are manifestations of the universal mind,
we are extensions of the eternal universe.
Flowing through and within itself in the endless loop of self discovery.

I now think of the universe as an organism or as a machine of sorts,
and I see us as expressions of this eternal universal organism.
If the universe is the ocean we are the waves coming out of it,
If it is a tree we are its branches.
"As the ocean waves, the universe peoples"
We are it and it is us.
We are all connected to everything in this universe and to the universe itself.
Drifting out and beyond the endless chatter and negativity in my mind has shown me I am the pure witness to this experience.
It has shown me I am not this name or this body nor these thoughts that society has placed upon me.
I would much rather identify myself as a unit of consciousness observing this human experience in this human vehicle and this consciousness is an extension of the universal mind which is watching the game of life through every being.

In this realm we have been led to believe we are these separate egos, and certain beliefs and ideas get forced upon us and we are shown all the ways in which we are different from everybody else.
We seem to always be focused on the differences between one another instead of the obvious similarities.
We distance ourselves from the fact that as humans of earth we are all connected through a collective consciousness.
The only things that separate us are our egos and beliefs and our minds.
If we could all just view each other from a place of "loving awareness" this separation between us would dissolve, all the boundaries placed between us would vanish and we would all see how connected we are and how many great things us as humans of earth could accomplish if we can get rid of all the pointless suffering and hate that has plagued our world.
But until we realize only our minds, egos and beliefs separate us and we create our own reality, we will continue to divide and lose sight of our unity.

"Life lived in the absence of the psychedelic experience that primordial shamanism is based on is life trivialized, life denied, life enslaved to the ego.” - Terence Mckenna
