", I find that I am not separate from God, or my experience, or others AND, paradoxically, I AM Molly, an individual. Thus, I am eternal and infinite, also finite and time limited. A design as mysterious as time itself."
People attach too much importance to their existence and profess that they are in reality the source as well , maybe it is because of the survival instinct that we assume to survive as God. But God or the reality was always there when I the individual was not, and is now, and will be there when I will not be. I , the individual is just a bubble in the ocean whereas the Reality is the ocean itself. A bubble has no permanency and is transient and illusory , it is the Ocean in which it arose that is real.
