Quote by Scott C. Holstad

“We wake up, breathe, live life often against our wishes and our better judgement. We console ourselves by telling ourselves this is no fault of our own but that doesn’t take away the reality of the pain, the streaming dreams, the utter shock of life, the shattered pieces of survival.”

“We are here so that the one awareness can experience itself as seemingly separate and individual conscious beings – of varying species, locations, perspectives, perceptions, and worldviews – each having its own unique journey from its own vantage point in the relative world. We are here so that the one can experience itself as the many. The relative world is an illusion, and the one awareness is experiencing what it is to be seemingly separate beings immersed in the illusion.”

“The one awareness is the only thing in all of existence that is real. Everything else – everything we see, hear, smell, taste, touch, sense or perceive – is part of the illusion of the relative world. None of it is real. Only the awareness peering out from each conscious being and observing the unfolding of the relative world’s illusion is real. Absolutely all appearances, aspects, angles and details of the illusion are not real. The observation of the illusion is real; the illusion itself is not.”

“The illusion of the relative world is completely benign. Conscious beings, through their unique interpretation of events unfolding, create meaning and significance. Any meaning given to the changing circumstances of the relative world comes from conscious beings by way of their particular points of view. And any narrative given to a changing set of circumstances is done so according to the orientation of a conscious being in a given moment.”

“The illusion of the relative world is an arena where the one awareness experiences itself as seemingly separate and individual beings, a space where the one experiences itself as the many. Amidst the relative world’s illusion, the one awareness experiences changing circumstances, the laws of cause and effect, and a sense of time and space. The one awareness observes conscious beings’ lives unfolding, with all of their storylines, perspectives, evolution and death – all of which is not real and not true with respect to the nature of the one awareness.”
