Yes! So many awakened people, including Adyashanti, have said that once the mind awakens there is a descent into physical form and a living out of life from a new perspective.
Great post! I love the concept of “freedom in bondage”. Lately I’ve been thinking that time itself is an illusion — though that is a rabbit hole I’m reluctant to descend into — at least until I finish a few “urgent” projects ;-)
Erin, I love your explanation and I find it especially beautiful that "Consciousness Itself veils itself in order to have this dance (lila, cosmic game), to experience separation." And also "that nothing is separate or excluded from Totality, so is the ego. It is all an arising of Oneness with the apparent separate “things” as part of the perceiving in that Oneness for a duration in time and space." Your texts bring a relief and clarity alongside an ever growing complexity. For me that means, there is a lot more to learn and the more I learn, the more simple and relaxed I become. 😍 ❤

That is 💯 my direct experience. Thank you for this, Michelle!

Hahaha! I love that, Pete! My immediate response to you, of course, is "who is doing the projects?" 🫢
Meantime, very much looking forward to your rabbit hole of Time! 🐇
Thank you for this wisdom weaving between the two of you. I now have another Substack to follow haha.
Great to e-meet and thank you for following me! I look forward to reading you as well!
