The 'me' will never perceive Oneness...

Notice that any time you come into right now, right now is tremendously simple.
You lose all of your agendas to be somewhere else, to be something, or to get
somewhere. Right here is totally adequate.

You know you are not a problem to be solved,
and neither is your neighbor or the world. This is revolutionary for this current state of
human consciousness.

Can you imagine if you really let it in that you are not a problem to
be solved in any way?

Imagine you knew that anything that would tell you otherwise is
just a movement of thought in the mind that says, "Whatever is, isn't the way it is
supposed to be."

So the biggest act of compassion starts within. And when the self is no
longer seen as a problem, this is called "the peace that surpasses all understanding."

Until you can see, literally, that everybody is the Buddha, then you are not seeing
things the way they are. Mother Teresa once said that when she is treating the sick and
starving, she is treating Jesus in everyone. This is not a nice spiritual platitude. It is actual
concrete reality.

The true Christ is in every being. It is the same as saying the Buddha is
in everyone. And the only thing that can perceive this is the Christ within. Only the
Buddha within perceives Buddha. Only the Oneness within can perceive the Oneness.
The me, will never perceive Oneness.
