There is an appearance of multiplicity. But behind the appearance are clues pointing to oneness. . .

No separation

From John Wheeler:


There is no person and no one separate from what is. So there is no answer to the question "Why did separation happen?" It did not. Karma, processes, conditioning, levels, states, attainments — all this is provisional and false and depends on the presumed presence of the person to whom all of this pertains. It is all imagination. If there is no person, then the root is pulled on all of it. There is no need for time or process. You are what you are. That is all that is pointed out. In that, all is complete. There is nowhere to get to apart from what you already are. So do not grasp hold of some concept or notion and believe you are not "there". Even all spiritual teachings and the highest non-dual pointers must be left behind. They are all pointers and conceptual only. Once you see your non-conceptual nature beyond the mind, you have no more need for pointers. If you return to them, you will turn back to the mind and start looking for the answer in the mind again and it will not be fruitful. Try that if you must, but see that you will not get anything more than what you already are.
