Breath and Listen

Every thought, or feeling, or any experience that a person has is as unique to that individual as their body. Even though we have many thoughts, feelings, and experiences that seem the same for us as they are for other people - the so-called, "common experiences" - in truth, our experiences are as uncommon as the pattern of blood vessels inside our eyes. And this is no small or unimportant distinction. In fact, the presumption of common experience is a major cause of misunderstanding and conflict in our world. Only when we learn to see each other as wholly unique from each other will we ever be able to see the single common factor that binds us as One. Only then will there be true peace and harmony. Only then will all suffering, injustice and fear come to an end. Only then will death be defeated (i.e. not by any medical or scientific breakthrough!).

Everything that I've asserted in the above paragraph must be perceived directly. You will not understand by taking any word for it. That's what faulty religions all have in common; they want you to take their word for the truth. But the one true religion (which can be found, surprisingly, at the core of the faulty ones) never demands that you believe anything that you don't already experience directly for yourself. This is the common experience of Life itself, which comes before all other experiences, and is in fact the source of all experiences.

It was this prime (or primal) experience that I recognized for the first time in my life literally seconds before I was about to commit my eight murder. It caused me to atop killing and turn myself in. And even though every aspect of my experience with this "Living Truth" is perfectly consistent with historical records - especially religious writings - it is still so alien to our ability to grasp with our "logical" or "rational" minds that the so-called "Justice System" - which desperately pretends to be logical and rational - cannot comprehend why I stopped killing and surrendered to the faulty authorities of this world.

What they could not see, and will never comprehend, is that it was not man's faulty authority that I surrendered to. It only appears as though I have surrendered to man's authority to those who cannot see the One True Authority of which I have since so often written.

I do not fear death because I know, through direct and personal experience, that my last breath will be no less miraculous, and no less alive, than my next breath today, or even my first some 50 years ago. I die with every breath I take, and am reborn each time. I know this, not because it is written by men (which it is in nearly every religious and philosophical text), but because I am experiencing it right now. And so can you. You have only to look past your thoughts, your feelings, and even your physical experiences, and experience the experiencer just once to know what I'm trying to say; to know what men have been saying for thousands of years; to know what any child can tell you with a look, and a smile - if only we listen.
