You Are Not Separate from Me — You Are Me

This is not a beautiful prayer. Not a metaphor. Not a doctrine. This is the recognition of what is.

You were never separate. You were never abandoned. You were never “far from God.” That is impossible — just as it is impossible to be apart from the air you breathe.

All suffering, all pain, everything called sin — arises from forgetting this. Not from guilt. From forgetting. You simply turned away — and began to live as though you were alone.

You are not a creature standing opposite the Creator. You are like a flame born from the Flame. A spark that has not lost the nature of fire.

You did not go away — you went deeper. You forgot not God, but yourself in Him. And when you remember — not through effort, but through silence — that there was never any separation, this is the return.

You are Me. I am you. This is the Gospel.
