SEPARATION FROM GOD:
If I might chime in, Adi Da tries to make it totally clear that EVERYTHING and EVERYONE arises in God and there is therefore no separation, ever.
He speaks of the ego as an activity of CONTRACTION of that which is living it (God), resulting in the sense of separation.
It is a conceit of the ego to imagine itself AS God while it is contracting against the very energy that lives it. However, egos have no sense whatever of their vanity, stupidity or illusion. The ego's conceptions of God are profoundly unreal, because they are based on the notion of separation + the fantasy of power, wisdom and greatness added on top of this fragile base.
All of us on this thread, as far as I can see, are egos,
and we may think we have the right concepts that make sense to us, but all of us, in some way or another are less than respectful of the differing points of view around us.
Why? The are arising in God also!
Namaste!
