It’s one of the central tenants of mysticism.

Either everything is God or it’s not.

But if all is divinity,

how can we experience this directly?

Follow these steps slowly and carefully.

1.

Discard all objections

to the idea of pantheism,

for they completely reject God’s unity.

2.

Adjust your expectations.

Realize that everything experienced directly

and without thought is God.

Everything!

3.

In a consciousness free of thought,

in a still and quiet moment,

look intensely at everything around you.

Keep looking until perception is crystal clear

and the world appears

 vividly beautiful and perfect

exactly as it is.

You are witnessing God’s being,

including your own body.

4.

Pick a focal point nearby.

Any object will do.

Look at it steadily and, at the same time,

intensify awareness

of your own consciousness.

Notice now that consciousness is not

just in you,

you are in it.

It is awake, aware, and present.

You have found God’s consciousness.

5.

Like focusing binoculars, bring

 God’s being and consciousness together

by experiencing your own conscious being.

 Soon you will sense conscious being everywhere.

It’s all one thing.

It’s all God.

That’s unity.

The mind’s self-concept forms a “me”

separate from God.

 Enlightenment is said to dissolve this duality

back into divinity.

Here’s what actually happens:

sensing God,

divine consciousness expands

until separation melts

in the raging furnace

of love-bliss.

Then,

I am you,

we are God,

and the world is one again.
