The One and the Two
There are not two Realities.
There Is Only One Reality,
nevertheless, the One Reality is
of such a Nature
that it can be either Realized
as One
or experienced as many.
One can not start with two
For two is the not basis of One.
To Understand this paradox
The One Truth
must be
Realized.
***
Two can be One in experience, conception, and perception but not ultimately or singularly in itself. The context of conditional experiencing must always be Unconditionally Realized to be One.
This understanding and Realization must be deeply felt, considered, and felt. Otherwise thinking, conception, and perception will be falsely understood as One.
Knowing is unable to communicate, demonstrate, or convince – prove – that Consciousness IS the Great Principle of both Realization and the experience of Reality. But One can Know, tacitly, there is ONLY ONE and not two.

HE-AND-SHE IS ME
The Indivisibility Of Consciousness and Light In the Divine Body Of The Ruchira Avatar,
by The Divine World-Teacher Ruchira Avatar Adi Da Samraj,
Epilogue, Tat Sundaram! All Of This Is Sacred, All Of This Is Beautiful! (The Essence of the Message of Adidam and of the One and Entire Great Tradition of Mankind)

Since This is Not Understood Correctly
Since this is not understood correctly
just as it is in itself,
there come into exitence inconceivable numbers of philosophical ideas and assertions.
As ordinary individuals do not understand it,
they do not recognize their own nature
and so they continue to search
therefore,
not to understand your own mind
is a very serious
and
consequential
fault.
