Behind every eye receiving the images received by the eye is the one that lives as and through all form.
What is generally believed is that there is an individual somebody or something behind the senses of what appear to be many separate forms, it is this belief that creates the sense of separation which is the cause of suffering in the human experience.
This belief, which is no more than an assumption, is brought about and has its continuation because the assumed separate one is not looked for. When the word ME or I is used it is assumed that the word is relating to the body or something within it and as this is not actually the case the illusion of many separate me-s is created.
The one that assumes that the word me or I is referring to an inner subjective object within the form is itself actually formless. By accepting itself as an objective figure it ceases to be able to recognise itself as no-thing, non-objective, in the misconception that it is some-thing. It is this identification with oneself as being something when the truth of oneself is that one is no-thing that causes the confusion that gives rise to suffering. This is the illusion which the Indian tradition has named Maya.
The Source of what appears to be many separate objects is this no-thingness. It is this One that is experiencing it's own no-thingness as the experience of the universe.
As long as this identification with the form that appears, which is no other than it's own action manifesting, continues then so does the illusion that one is a separate being amongst other separate beings and it is this sense of otherness that creates fear which then does not allow the seeing of Oneness, that all is One, that all is essentially Love and that one is equal to this.
The only One that experiences Life as and in the human form, or any other form for that matter, is the Source itself. You and I are this source, we are the same One. Not recognising this fact this one as an apparent you and I lives the illusion of separation. What is experiencing itself in your form is the one that is also experiencing itself in all other forms, no where in all that appears is there actually separation except as a an idea that leads to the belief that it is so.
When one recognises ones self to be nothing at all then this realisation of Oneness spontaneously appears. This nothingness, being prior to the somethingness that creates the sense of time and space, is immediately recognised to be the ever-present eternal One itself and the only One that actually is.
This one that we all are, and that all is, is in itself still, unmoving and silent yet paradoxically it creates all action that appears as the objective experience of the world and the universe. From this place of stillness, which is not locatable in time and space, this one is witness to its own show. A one-man band as it were. Literally speaking all that you are presently experiencing as yourself and your world is a manifestation of your own Being for you are the Source. As the no-thingness you give rise to the some-thingness that appears as manifest existence which is an activity of the stillness of your Being.
