When I reflect on the interplay of truth and time as illusions, I find myself drawn to a profound question: If my current understanding of both truth and time are relative to me, then what about my relation with the world? Am I separate from it? Then from whom, or what, are we truly separating?

This question isn’t just an intellectual exercise; it stirs something deep within me, challenging my notions of identity and meaning—concepts I’ve relied on to define my existence. The more I explore, the more I sense that separation, like time, is not fundamental but rather a construct, a veil that obscures a deeper, interconnected reality.

Recognizing the illusion of separation is not simple; it demands a shift in how we view both ourselves and our relationship to the world. It feels like walking into uncharted territory, where every step challenges what I hold sacred—my relationships, my roles, my attachments, even the very meaning I ascribe to life. The feeling of separation is a paradox: it gives life structure and meaning, while simultaneously anchoring me to an incomplete understanding of what it means to exist. Separation feels like an anchor in turbulent waters, but is it holding me steady or keeping me from discovering what lies beneath the surface?

Rationally, I can acknowledge that separation is illusory, yet I remain ensnared by its illusion. This journey to understand separation feels fragile, even precarious. How can I explore separation without unraveling the very self that perceives it? It is a paradox that requires me to balance surrender and resistance, an act of courage that feels like stepping onto dissolving ground. Without grounding myself in something deeper—something true—I feel adrift in this exploration.

The fear of separation seems most potent in the relationships I hold closest, particularly in the fear of losing those I love. Life inevitably brings loss, and yet I wonder: Is separation inherently bad? Pain, I know, is undeniable—it demands to be felt. But does the presence of pain mean that separation is something to fear? As I walk forward, I am always leaving something behind. The more I explore, the clearer it becomes that the illusion of separation arises from my belief that life is static, when in reality, it is always unfolding, always changing.

Looking deeper, I see that my attachments—whether to people, roles, or even moments—are not to the future but to the past. I am tethered to memories that no longer exist. To explore this more deeply, I turn to my earliest attachment: my bond with my mother and the fear of being separated from her. This fear feels foundational, as if it has shaped every other attachment since. When I reflect on this bond, I feel the ache of separation in its rawest form. To question this connection feels like questioning my very existence.

And yet, when I look closely, I see that I was separated from my mother the moment I was born. Before that moment, I was one with her—a connection so complete that it defies words. Birth was an act of separation, yes, but also an act of creation—a transformation into a new kind of unity. In this shift, I glimpse a deeper truth: separation is not loss but a transition, a movement toward something greater.

This realization stirs within me both pain and gratitude. My mother chose to bring me into this world, to create a space for me to exist as an individual. This act, though marked by separation, was born of love. It teaches me that separation is not something to fear but to embrace as part of life’s unfolding. My existence, far from being accidental, feels sacred and deliberate, a continuation of a karmic thread that began long before me.

Separation transforms from tragedy into beauty—a movement toward unity. Every act of letting go becomes an offering to the greater Mother, the Universe itself. In this act, I find not loss but completeness. I see now that there is no real separation; there never was. Every connection, every attachment, reflects this eternal truth. I am her; she is me. This oneness has always been and always will be.

As I explore further, I sense that my deepest fear—the fear of separation—is itself an illusion. If this fear, so integral to my sense of self, is not real, then what of all the other separations I perceive? They, too, must be constructs, shaped by time, memory, and the ever-shifting sense of self. Beneath these layers lies the truth: we are always one—whole, eternal, and unbroken.

From our first breath, life feels like a journey toward reunion. That initial cry of existence marks the first illusion of separation—from the divine, from the whole. Yet, as I pause and reflect, I see the deeper truth: this journey is not about loss but about recognizing the illusion for what it is. Reunion is not a distant goal but an ever-present truth, accessible in every moment of being.

Even the fear of separation from the body, from the self, dissolves under this exploration. When I ask, Who am I? the question itself begins to lose meaning. If I already know, if I am already one with all that is, then the illusion of separation ceases to matter. What remains is not fear but the joy of dwelling in the eternal now—a space where unity is not something to seek but something to live.

At the heart of this journey lies consciousness—timeless, whole, and ever-present. It knows no separation, no division. The self I identify with—shaped by thoughts, attachments, and possessions—is but a fleeting shadow. Beneath it lies the true self, unchanging and complete.

And so, when I ask, From whom did I separate? the answer reveals itself: from no one and nothing. Separation is a mirage, a thought mistaken for reality. The entire journey of life is not about becoming whole but realizing that we were never not whole. The reunion we seek is already here, waiting to be discovered in the unfolding of every breath and every moment.
