The great paradox of existence is that divinity is neither distant nor separate. It does not hover above, removed from the world, or confined to scriptures, temples, or philosophical discourse. The divine reveals itself through the very eyes reading these words, the body’s breath moving in and out, and the awareness that witnesses it all.
Yet, the greatest cosmic joke is how effectively this truth hides itself. Conditioned perception buries it beneath layers of identity, belief, and attachment to form. The mind, trained to seek, overlooks what has never been absent. Seeking assumes distance, and distance creates the illusion of separation.
What would happen if the search for God ceased? If the assumption that something must be found was abandoned? Recognition would unfold – not as a discovery, but as a remembrance. What has been longed for has always been here, moving as every thought, sensation, and experience. The wave does not need to become the ocean; it has never been anything else.
The world appears as a veil obscuring the truth, yet that veil is woven from the very substance it seems to conceal. Divinity does not reside elsewhere. It is not waiting to be reached. It animates the hand that turns a page, the laughter that erupts unexpectedly, the silence between words. The cosmic game is not about finding, but realizing that nothing was ever lost.
God hidden in plain sight is not a metaphor. It is the unshakable reality ignored by the conditioned mind yet known by the silent awareness watching from within. It does not require belief, only direct seeing. The invitation is not to seek, but to recognize.
The great unveiling is already underway. The question is – will it be seen?

In our conversation on the Guru Viking podcast, hosted by Steve James, the essence of giving and receiving was explored in a way that transcends the mundane understanding of these acts. Our discussion, titled “Bodhi in the Brain,” delved into the philosophical underpinnings of our existence and our intrinsic connection to the universe. The narrative unfolded a perspective that not only are we a part of the universe, but we are the universe itself, engaging in a perpetual dance of giving and receiving.
The act of giving and receiving is not merely a transaction, but a reflection of a deeper, cosmic reality. When we give, we are not parting with something; rather, we are circulating the essence of existence. Similarly, when we receive, we are not merely acquiring; we are resonating with the universal rhythm. This perspective elevates the act of giving and receiving from a mere transaction to a transcendental experience, a harmonious exchange between the self and the cosmos.
The breath serves as a poignant metaphor for this eternal exchange. With every inhalation, we receive the life force, and with every exhalation, we give back to the existence that cradles us. This rhythmic exchange is a reminder of our unbreakable bond with the universe. It’s a dance of energy, a flow of consciousness, a cycle that sustains life and fosters the continuum of existence.
The notion that “it’s better to give than to receive” is not just a moral stance, but a reflection of a higher truth. When we give selflessly, we align with the universal law of abundance. We acknowledge that we are not separate entities operating in isolation, but integral parts of a grand cosmic orchestra. Our acts of giving and receiving are not just interactions with the external world; they are a dialogue with the universe, a testament to our universal identity.
Furthermore, the idea that “the universe is always yours” is a profound reminder of our limitless potential and inherent unity with the cosmos. We are not mere spectators in this grand theatre of existence; we are the playwrights, the actors, and the audience. The universe is not an external entity; it is a reflection of our innermost being, a mirror of our infinite essence.
This dialogue on the Guru Viking podcast invites you to transcend the superficial understanding of giving and receiving, urging us to embrace our universal identity. It’s a call to engage in the cosmic dance with awareness, grace, and a sense of sacredness. As we give and receive, we do not just interact with the world; we commune with the universe, we resonate with the essence of existence, and we unveil the profound truth that we are the universe experiencing itself in a myriad of forms.
This perspective is not merely philosophical musing; it’s a pathway to a deeper understanding, a higher consciousness, and a more meaningful existence. As we navigate the journey of life with this awareness, every act of giving and receiving becomes a sacred exchange, a step closer to the ultimate realization of our oneness with the cosmos.

Embracing the Indescribable in the Pursuit of Nondual Consciousness
The realm of metaphysics has been exploring the uncharted territory of human existence since the inception of philosophical thought. The concept of ‘Turiyatita’, borrowed from the ancient Vedantic wisdom, invites us to delve into the mystery of the Ultimate Nondual Presence. In a state of supreme transcendence, Turiyatita marries the notions of Emptiness and form, painting a picture of the Self fully liberated and realized.
This profound state is said to represent the highest level of human awareness. It’s the experience of actualizing the quintessential Vedantic concept, “Aham Brahmasmi,” the realization that all is Brahman, the ultimate reality.
The fascinating paradox of this journey lies in its unspeakability. The moment of enlightenment, where one realizes their ultimate oneness with the universe, is so overwhelmingly mind-shattering that no human language can capture its essence. We find ourselves venturing into a stateless state, an inexplicable expanse that houses all potentiality, while simultaneously being nothing. It’s a cosmic riddle that has always existed and will continue to exist, challenging the very constructs of human understanding.
Over the years, I grappled with expressing the enigma that is Turiyatita. I discovered that language, no matter how profound or poetic, remains insufficient to convey this transcendental experience. The individual mind’s narratives fall short when tasked with communicating such an experience to the collective consciousness. This realization is like a boundless sea that can only be expressed through the universe itself – through everything around us, beneath us, above us, within us, and even through us. Our very existence, after all, is an echo of this ‘Absolute’ language.
This illuminating journey of pure awareness left me in a state of awe, marking an indelible imprint on my ego’s fragments. An unforgettable memory, it is the most profound self-discovery I’ve had in this lifetime.
Most of us remain oblivious to the existence of this state, yet it’s accessible to everyone. It waits patiently for anyone bold enough to plunge into its mysterious depths. These are the Akashic waters of enlightenment, a blissful abyss where the brave explorers willingly lose themselves.
This presence, while unnoticeable, pervades our existence as an invisible field, a force that forms the bedrock of all beings. It’s in the exploration of this Ground of All Existence that one realizes the enigma of the indescribable, the ineffable mystery commonly referred to as ‘God’.
So, as we journey through life and its varied experiences, may we always strive for the courage to explore these profound depths. For it is in these explorations that we touch upon the mysteries of our existence, our true selves, and the cosmic reality we are all a part of.
