One day I stumbled upon a website and found a non-duality perspective I really like. See if you resonate with it too.  The writer is Leonard Jacobson. The website: www.leonardjacobson.com. 

The Womb
When you were born, you moved from a womb that became too small for you (your mother’s womb) to a much larger womb (the world you were being born into).  But you did not have the opportunity to complete that transition. You got caught in the trauma of separation that occurred at birth and instead of entering a world of Oneness, you entered a world of separation.

The Separation
It was a gradual transition as you joined your parents in the past and future world of the mind. If your parents had been fully present and awake, and not lost in the mind, they could have guided you through the trauma of separation into the present moment. The feeling of separation that arose in the birth process would have subsided and you would have developed within a world of Presence and Oneness. But your parents were not present. They did not know how to guide you into the present moment. Instead they guided you into their world of the mind. It is not their fault. That is what happened to them, and it is passed down, generation to generation.

The Wound
We are all suffering from the same wound. It is the feeling that no one is really present with us. We feel alone and separate. This wound originates …… from the birth experience itself and from other realms and dimensions of our existence. It is a wound which carries over from our childhood into all the days of our lives until we awaken into that dimension of life and ourselves which exists within the present moment.

The Promise
The whole point of awakening is to return to that larger womb, which is existence itself, revealed through the present moment. You will feel safe. You will feel connected to everything. You will experience Oneness. Now you can evolve into your true nature. Now your true destiny can unfold.

Leonard Jacobson will be in southern California, March 21, 2009, speaking in Santa Monica. The title of his presentation is Being Present – Finding Peace in Times of Crisis.  Until you return, fill your days with GIGGLES, JOY, APPRECIATION and PRESENCE!
