Practice: Holonic Unfolding

Meditate on "the individual" by resting in the heart. Meditate on "the everything" within and to the edge of your awareness.

To meditate on the heart is to practice love. To meditate on the everything is to practice wisdom.

To hold the experience of the individual and the whole simultaneously is to be present to the unfolding holonic experience of awareness oriented to and rooted in a body/mind.

Between the whole of the universe and the part of self, the thing called "I" unfolds freely.

Unification v. Oneness

A state of unification is not awakening. A state of unification is a state unification. It's nice. Everyone likes this, but it's not awakening. Awake people have states of unification, and they have states of difference as well. Both happen; other things happen too.

Don't mistake a state of unification for awakening. Don't seek a state of unification in place of awakening. Awakening is a deep honest and vulnerability with self. Awakening is complete non-resistance to all that arises. Awakening is oneness with all that arises (not unification).

The awake are one with whatever arises. At times, what arises is a reality that appears to be separate. The unawake spiritual person practicing awakening will fear this as a mistake allowing it to be proof of their non-awakeness and inherent deficiency (which keeps them in a place of delusion). The awake are one with reality whether it appears to be separate of unified - as both are an expression of the same.
