There is a power so strong and so infinite that entire realities are created and fueled by it. This energy is so unconditional that it gives life to everything it touches. This energy flows non-stop through the world it creates. This energy is pure consciousness that seeks to became aware of itself through its creations.

As part of those creations, humans have this energy flowing through them at all times. We are a manifestation of that energy. We ARE that energy. As that energy, we are all one. We are all connected.

But we each have our own minds. These minds see themselves as separate from other minds even though each of us is being fed by the same source energy and consciousness. We are in the process of creating our own individual self and in the process we have created resistance to that energy flowing through us. The mind sees the forms created but no longer sees or feels that incredible energy flowing through us that allows us to create form.

As our minds develop and creates a separateness from other minds, the ego is created to identify with that separateness and to protect its identity. The ego identifies with form only and thus is closed off to the formless energy flowing through us that is our source. We, the divine beings that we are, identify with our egos. Our egos become who we are and we forget that we are that formless and limitless source energy. We become separated from who we really are and instead try to create an identity through ego and mind. We then defend that egoic identity with everything we've got because we think that is who we are. The more we defend it and build on it and stay focused on it, the stronger it gets and the stronger the resistance gets to who we really are. The separation becomes near total.

Our thoughts and constant thinking feed that egoic identity. The ego is a mind creation and is therefore fed by thoughts rather than by the consciousness of our source energy, which is an all-knowing intelligence. To heal the separation and reconnect with that source consciousness and energy, it is a matter of stilling the mind and turning the thoughts off long enough to focus on and feel that source energy/consciousness flowing through us. That energy/consciousness is who we really are and the more we can connect to that, the less control our egos will have over our lives. Instead of identifying with our minds, we will begin using our minds as a tool while instead identifying with our true divine beingness. Centered in who we really are, we can use our minds without getting lost in them.
This is called marrying the form and the formless. We are divine formless beings who have entered a physical form with a mind that creates form. Our minds create thought-forms which then can be manifested as physical forms. We have gotten so caught up in the world of form and our minds which we use to navigate that world of form that we have forgotten who we really are--a formless divine being that outlasts all the forms it enters through. We identify with our thought-forms and our physical forms but we have lost our connection to the formless divine beings who we really are.
Stop and notice your thinking. Observe the endless stream of thoughts being fired. We average between 50,000 and 100,000 thoughts a day. By stepping back and observing our thoughts we'll notice that we are constantly thinking and that there is very little space between thoughts.

Who is doing all that thinking? It's your mind and your ego.

Who is it that is observing that thinking? That's you.

Connect with that you. Step back from all that thinking and become the you who is observing it. Then find the gaps of silence and stillness between those thoughts and embrace that stillness. The more you can do this, the more you can get into the you who is the observer. When you are in this silence and stillness and the mind and ego are turned off and you are in the you who is the observer, you can switch from thinking to feeling. You can begin to feel the energy/consciousness that is constantly flowing through your being. This energy/consciousness is who you really are. You can't think it, you can only feel it. The more you feel it, the more your awareness expands. Eventually, your awareness is no longer confined to the egoic mind and the world of form and you become a truly functional multi-dimensional being, a formless being living in form in total awareness of who you really are.
