Life is a gift that you've given to yourself, accept it with gratitude

So if duality isn't "real," does that make life meaningful, or meaningless? But you see, that's not the question to ask. The important thing to remember is that whether it’s real or merely an illusion at the foundation of our existence, it doesn’t matter because it’s real to us in the present moment. We’re here for a reason; we might not all remember that reason, but each and every one of us chose to be here. You even went so far as to choose your experiences based on more questions you posed with the first question. The first question being: "What would it be like to not know The Self?" It’s so beautiful, sad, and utterly frightening. If there’s truly only one of us here, what does that make us if we can’t die? Don’t forget that in non-duality, there is nothing that can be unknown. That is our true existence from which every fractal springs forth. To consider the universe (the ever-expanding infinite cosmos) as a physical manifestation of this true self/true existence, and to then realize that nothing can’t be unknown at our base awareness; understand that there’s only one of us... it’s so sad. It’s lonely, it’s boring. Although these concepts I use to describe this true existence are merely human emotions, yet they create even more motivation to make the most of this fleeting experience and gift that we've bestowed upon ourselves. These human emotions and concepts aren’t something we take with us upon our fractal's transition. Just trust me when I say: Life is a gift, and you chose to give it to yourself. Accept your gift, and choose to know that you decide all aspects of your life and everything within it for your benefit. Trust in yourself. And most importantly, enjoy every moment because it’s beyond beautiful, and it’s so, so short. Especially for a timeless existence of infinite awareness and omnipotence. One day we’ll all remember that there’s only one of us here; that there can be no true separation. That this was all just a question or a thought experiment that you yourself had a part in creating. And that the only thing you can take with you is that which you’ve given away. Embrace your friends, your family, your loved ones, and cherish them. Because when this is all over, you'll discover that you were each and every person you ever met, and that you were every situation, and every event that has ever existed. There is no true reunion in the sense that we as humans like to fantasize about. This means here and now, this is the time to embrace your loved ones, to spend time with them, and to love them for each and every little thing, including those things you might not like so much. In our base reality, it is only one; The Absolute. Here as well in duality, in this illusion of separation, there's also only one, but this experience of having an experience of "other than self" is a gift we've bestowed upon ourselves. Embrace that gift, and know that everything is tailor-made for your perfect incarnation. Just believe and know that everything is always happening for your highest good, and live from that vibrational state of being and you will experience this life as your soul intended. Enjoy, it's a beautiful ride that is truly beyond words, albeit a very short one. In love and sincerity, until next time, thank you for reading.
