Awareness, the Universe, and You
The huge benefits of awakening to all that you really are

The Universe Started from Nothing
I am getting guided to start this section by pointing out that the Universe must have created itself from nothing.
It is not important whether there was a "big bang" 13.8 billion years ago or not, because at some point before the big bang if there was one, there must have been nothing at all.
Considering how complex the Universe is now, creating all this from nothing has been a truly amazing feat, quite breathtaking really. And it is not over yet, it will be ongoing forever.
Only One Awareness Came into Existence
I read a book once that said it was channelled directly from Source. In the book, Source said that in the beginning it drifted in and out of Awareness/ Consciousness for a very long period.
Countless quotations throughout history from many wise beings have said that there is only One Awareness.
This cannot be proven, however the process of awakening enables a person to realize this for themselves.
"That Which Cannot be Named"
Eckhart Tolle's Words
The quotation below by Eckhart Tolle has many good points that are so true. The reason it has been included here is because of its last sentence, which says: "And at the innermost core, there is the sacred, the immeasurable, That which cannot be named."
As mentioned before, the Infinite has been given hundred of names throught history, so why is Eckhart Tolle referring to it as "that which cannot be named"?
I believe that every one of the names given to it is a name for a role, and it is not what the infinite really is, but what it does, and roles that it fulfils.
Names such as "The Source af All Things" and "The Divine Oneness of All that Is" illustrate the vastness of its roles, but they are still roles and not what it asctually is. Each of the roles, no matter how vast, is not the totality of what the Unnameable actually is.
Thus the One Self, which is being emphasized here, is not the only role for "that which cannot be named".
I invite you to think about this for a while. Even the name "God" is still a role, especially within belief systems based on dualistic religions.
Mooji's Words
Here is what Mooji has to say about Awareness, which provides further support for the claim that it is a part of "that which cannot be named":
It is beyond our finite minds to be able to understand this, how anything that has led to the creation of everything coud be uncreated itself. All we can do is accept it.
It is an illustration of the principle that something can only be created by something else that has a higher power to create than itself. In this case, the uncreated has more freedom to create than what it has created.
We All Share the Same Self but Are Unique
Previous content on this site, including quotations by respected teachers, has already made the point that there is only one Awareness and One Self that lives within all of us. Yet every one of us is unique. How this is possible is explained below. It is quite important to understand both parts of this - what is the same, and what is different?
There are many versions of the following diagram, called the Spirit Soul and Body diagram. Some give a lot more detail than others, but they are generally in agreement. The diagram shows us as having three components, with Spirit in the center, surrounded by our Soul and then our Body.
The Spirit component contains the One Self that is the same within all of us. However, our Souls and our Bodies are different for each of us, enabling us to be unique.
As shown in the diagram above, there are many things within our Soul/ Personality that are unique to each of us, including our beliefs, attitudes, feelings, emotions and memories (memories formed during our whole life), and also the way each of us think, reason and make choices.
In the Body component our brain and our five senses, and many systems including our nervous system are different for each person. Our gender is also a factor too.
Our Brain Does Not Make Decisions
Our mind and its organ, the brain, collects and processes information for us to make decisions, but decisions are not made by the brain. I read this interesting fact in one of the books by Greg Kuhn in his "Quantum Physicists Don't ..." series.
Kuhn said in his book that brain scientists can see where the processing is done in the brain to get ready to make a desision, prior to decisions being made, but not where decisions are actually made. My belief is that this is because decisions are not made in the physical brain, but by our Self in the spiritual (non-physical) realm. They are picked up by the physical brain for implementing.
Awareness does not originate in our brains. Our brain tunes into the awareness that exists everywhere.
Everything is Connected within the Oneness
Everthing is Connected, not only People
Sages and teachers ranging from ancient mystics to modern quantum physicists, and many in-between, have said that absolutely everything in the Universe is connected. Not only people are connected, but also animals and other non-human life, and physical things from sub-atomic particles and atoms, to planets, solar systems and galaxies etc.
It can be quite pleasant to see the affectionate connection between parents and their children, between life partners, and between a human and their pet animal.
Scientific Evidence
Video called "Black Whole" by Nassim Haramein
A video on Youtube featuring the well known and very talented Nassim Haramein explores the issue of the connectedness of everything, that everything is One.
His presentation is from a very technical perspective. Using convincing technical arguments and mathematics of the Universe, he concludes that space is the factor that connects everything.
My thoughts are that maybe it is actuallly what is within space (the undefinable and unnameable) that is what connects everything.
The video is about 92 minutes long, and I recommend that you watch it as long as it is not too technical for you. The initial part is not technical so you could watch at least some of it.

The Benefits of this Becoming Understood
A Better Life for You
Once you accept these things, your own life will change for the better. Many teachers have said that, and it has been my experience too.
A Better World
Once enough people understand that at the level of their Self they are really brothers and sisters within the Oneness, humanity will change for the better.
Many forms of competition will fall out of favour, and be replaced by cooperation. I look forward to when games based on competition and fighting are replaced by games of coopertaion.
An End of War
The biggest and most welcome change will be an end of war with all its brutality to other humans, and heartbreak for relatives.
War is based on separateness and mistrust, the opposite from a sense of oneness. Once people understand that "the enemy" is actually a brother or sister within the Oneness, sharing the same One Self, they will no longer see them as "the enemy" to be killed.
Also, the huge sums of money spent on war and preparation for war each year could be diverted to humanitarian causes, such as feeding the starving, providing adequate clothing and accommodation for every person, and proper education for everyone, all regardless of where they live.
Would You Like to Help Make It Happen?
If you would like to support the creation of a better world, one thing you could do is to spread awareness of this website to any family members, friends and co-workers who just may be interested.
If you use social media, sending messages to friends and/or posting on your personal page or in groups (where allowed) could be worthwhile. Don't be pushy or break rules though, as it puts people off.
