Osho, a modern mystic, often would say that man is an expression of consciousness that resonated between animal and godlike existence.

Self-identity is shifting between one thing than another for the Sheep mentality, and this consciousness is so caught up within the flow that it is pushed and pulled by thoughts, emotions, and imaginings thoroughly enough that there is no cohesive self to identify with.

Here we can say that the ego is a still photo, while our real individuation (Self), some call the soul, is an entire ongoing movie.

I invite you to become the mystic that you are, and through insight and understanding to become a whole being of the universe as opposed to a split fearful entity. I invite you to become a peaceful consciousness rather than an anxious being. And further, I invite you to become a loving co-creator of this immense existence rather than a separate competitive loneliness.

This “is-ness” is an undifferentiated wholeness and is complete unto itself. Just imagine this state of being. Within it there is no struggle, there is no creativity nor is there any action or reaction. In this state there is no comparison or judgement, nor is there any pleasure or pain. There is literally no reference point to adhere to and thus no separate existence.

As we delve deeper into this dichotomy we find ourselves split. First, we find ourselves split between our sense of me and other. In this state everything is seen as a duality. Good and evil, right and wrong, up and down, like and dislike, are all part of the way of being the young woman image in our original picture experiences the world. In actuality the first split which underlies this, and which most of us have forgotten is the split between the way of being the old woman represents and the young woman represents. Because we have forgotten this original split we are forever lost in the world of duality, with no apparent escape.
