Being Is Shared

The statement ‘Being is shared’ suggests that everyone and everything derives its apparently separate and independent existence from the same infinite and indivisible reality, whose nature is being. What is the background out of which all existing things emerge? Being. That which exists is always manifest. Being is always unmanifest. We have different names, we have different forms, but what are we names and forms of? We are names and forms of that which itself has no name or form. Each of us is a temporary expression of the eternal reality of pure being. This recognition, this understanding, is known or felt as the experience of love. That’s what love is: the recognition that our being is shared.
