The source and you - connected in the origin of all being

An eternal reminder of who you really are

From the Balinese creation story: “In the beginning there was the will of the One to be many, and he allowed a part of himself to appear as many in order to have different experiences at the same time.”

This is the clearest description of us as part of the divine (the Source) that I know - even clearer than in the biblical creation story (from Gen. 1:27: “So God created man in his own image; in the image of God he created him.”), because the Bible speaks of an image, while the Balinese version clearly speaks of a part of Him. But this means in both descriptions that we carry the divine creative power within us from the very beginning.

In the course of incarnating, our souls (the “many”) pass through the veil of forgetfulness, thereby clearing the space for the “different experiences” they want to have - in the original omniscience as a “part of itself”, such experiences would not be possible. 

And this is where the process of experience, that we call life, begins for our trinity of soul, mind and body. In the beginning, as physical beings, we have our soul, which has chosen our body as the vehicle for its journey of experience, and enlivens it. In the next level of consciousness, our soul actively inhabits our body, i.e. it begins to implement the soul plan it chose before incarnation. The aim of the next stage of development is to realize that we are soul, divine consciousness that experiences itself as a human being - and thus fulfill the original idea of the “One”.

And if you think this through consistently, you will soon come to the decisive realization: You will never find the Creator on the outside, He is within you - you are one with Him!

The illusion of separation

An age-old longing

A silent longing lives in every human being - a quiet knowledge that there is more than what is visible, more than what we think, feel or do. It is the longing for the essence, for something that touches us deeply without us being able to explain it. We look for it in religion, in nature, in love, in silence. Some call it the divine, others the source, the one, the being, God or simply life. But despite this longing and inner knowledge, many feel separated from this greater being - alienated from life, cut off from meaning, empty despite external success. Why? Because we believe in a separation that has never really existed.

The illusion of separation arises in the mind - in thinking, in the ego, in the concept of “i”. Early in our lives, we learn to experience ourselves as separate beings: separate from others, from nature, from life and ultimately also from the divine. We believe that we are a single “i” that must become something, achieve something or improve in order to be whole.

This basic assumption creates a reality of lack. A feeling of “not enough”, of searching, of being lost. And yet: this feeling is not the truth - it is a veil. A veil that obscures the light of who we truly are: undivided, connected, divine in every aspect of our being. The separation exists only in the imagination. In the depths of your being, you have never been separated.

The divine is not out there somewhere

Many spiritual paths begin with a search. This is both human and sacred. But at some point we may realize: What we are looking for was never outside of us. It was never far away. The divine is not something you have to achieve. It is that which breathes you, that which makes you possible in the first place. It is in you, through you, as you.

You are not on the way to God. You are the way. You are the door. And you are what is waiting behind the door. This realization is not an idea. It is a living experience - often silent, often beyond words. It happens when the mind becomes quieter and the heart remembers.

Remembering is the key

We don't have to learn to be divine. We just have to remember that we are. And this remembrance is not an intellectual process - it happens through introspection, through surrender, through the willingness to let go of everything that is wrong: the old roles, the rigid beliefs, the protective walls around our heart.

The memory of the divine within us awakens when we become still. When we stop fighting. When we surrender to the moment - whole, naked, without concepts. Then we realize that the divine does not begin anywhere. It begins right here - in the breath, in the gaze, in the stillness.

When the separation is seen through

When the illusion of separation falls apart, there is no loud bang. It is more like a quiet coming home. A deep, calm realization: I am carried. I am connected. I was never alone.

This realization changes everything - not necessarily on the outside, but at the core of your experience. You no longer have to prove anything. You no longer fight for love. You no longer function in order to be enough. You are - and that is enough.

Genuine encounters, deep peace and quiet joy arise from this being. And also compassion - for yourself, for others, for the world.

If you have read this far, perhaps something within you has been touched - a quiet reminder of your true nature. Perhaps you are ready to see through the veil of separation. Maybe you want to dive deeper, remember who you really are - beyond all stories, beyond all roles.

You are invited. Not to a new concept. But to yourself. You have never been separate. You were just asleep for a moment.
