Unveiling the Illusion: In a world fractured by the relentless tyranny of the ego, where the cacophony of divisive rhetoric drowns out the symphony of our shared humanity, Nikola Tesla's assertion of our fundamental oneness stands as a beacon of hope and a challenge to our conditioned realities. It is a truth, profound yet elusive, that we are all threads woven into the intricate tapestry of existence. Yet, the illusion of separateness, meticulously crafted by the ego, blinds us to this sublime reality. We see not unity, but a kaleidoscope of differences, a battleground of 'mine' and 'thine'. Tesla's wisdom echoes the ancient philosophy of Vedanta, a profound exploration of the nature of reality. Swami Vivekananda, the fiery monk who bridged East and West, illuminated this path for Tesla. They spoke of a singular, infinite consciousness - Brahman - the sole reality. The world, as we perceive it, is a mere mirage, a cosmic dream conjured within this ultimate truth. Our individual identities, our beliefs, our fears - the architects of our perceived divisions - are but fleeting shadows dancing in the light of this eternal consciousness. Like characters in a dream, we play our roles, unaware of the dreamer within. But upon awakening, the dream dissolves, leaving only the pure awareness behind. So, let us question the narratives that confine us, the labels that define us. Let us look beyond the surface of this illusory world to glimpse the underlying unity. In doing so, we begin to dismantle the fortresses of ego, and step into the expansive realm of interconnectedness. As Tesla and Vivekananda remind us, we are not isolated beings, but expressions of a single cosmic dance. It is in embracing this truth that we find liberation from the shackles of division and discover the profound beauty of our shared existence. Let us strive to be architects of unity, rather than prisoners of division. Thanks, Strati, for posting this quote:

We will not know how to be right or how to act and to live correctly in God’s Kingdom on the earth and in the earth realm if we approach life from time or from any other perspective. This is a major paradigm shift for humanity, but this is not optional. We must see, act, and live through the lens of eternity. Read my latest blog here: https://buff.ly/3ypumpx
