A Moment of Gratitude and Reflection

There are times when life offers us a mirror, moments when we are asked to pause and consider the path we’ve walked. Recently, I experienced one of those moments—a recognition of my spiritual journey that has deeply moved me. After a reflective interview process that explored the winding road I’ve travelled and the transformative experiences that shaped my understanding, I was honoured to be included in Passion Vista’s “Circle of Excellence.” Passion Vista is an internationally renowned magazine, reaching 1.6 million readers around the world.

This acknowledgment isn’t merely a personal milestone; it feels like a testament to the universal journey that so many of us are on—a journey toward understanding, growth, and deeper connection. I’m grateful for this opportunity to share my story, and to bring light to the experiences that have opened my eyes, heart, and spirit in ways I never imagined. This recognition reaffirms the power of dedication and authenticity in navigating life’s complexities.

But no journey is made alone. My path has been illuminated by countless souls—those who inspire, challenge, and walk alongside me. To each of you who has shared a part of this path, whether through words, shared insights, or silent encouragement, thank you. This moment of recognition is as much yours as it is mine, and I hold a deep gratitude for each step we’ve taken together.

In reflection, I am reminded that these achievements are not final destinations but markers of a continuous unfolding. They serve as gentle reminders to stay humble, to stay present, and to remain open to the vastness of what life has to offer.

Thank you for being part of this shared journey.

Absolute Monism

Singularity is the same as Multiplicity

In the vast expanse of philosophical discourse, few concepts challenge the contours of human understanding as the idea of Absolute Monism. At its core, it posits that everything is essentially a unified, singular reality, but herein lies a paradox: If all is One, how does one account for the seemingly infinite multiplicity that populates our universe? The answer, surprisingly, might be found in understanding that singularity and multiplicity are two sides of the same coin.

### The Illusion of Separation

We begin by reflecting on the perceived reality around us. Trees, oceans, planets, galaxies—on the surface, they appear distinct, diverse, and separated. Yet, each atom, molecule, and cell in these entities share a common origin in the Big Bang. If we could rewind time, all that exists would coalesce into a single point of infinite density—a singularity.

The illusion of separation emerges from our limited human perception. Just as a wave is not separate from the ocean, individual entities are not separate from the cosmic singularity; they are mere manifestations of the same unified reality.

### The Duality Paradox

Dualities pervade human thinking. Good and evil, light and dark, self and other. But these are merely conceptual constructs, artificial divisions we impose on the unified reality to navigate it. In Absolute Monism, these dualities dissolve. The line that separates singularity from multiplicity is a mirage.

Imagine a hologram. Every fragment of a hologram contains the whole image. Similarly, every fragment of our universe—no matter how minuscule—contains the imprint of the whole. Singularity is encoded in multiplicity and vice versa.

### Infinity within the Finite

It’s a profound thought that within every grain of sand, and every drop of water, the vastness of the universe is contained. In the singularity of Absolute Monism, the infinite exists within the finite. It challenges the linear perspective of beginning and end, suggesting instead a cyclical, intertwined existence where singularity births multiplicity and multiplicity reflects singularity.

### Embracing the Unity

Recognizing that all is One has profound implications for how we lead our lives. Embracing Absolute Monism is a journey towards compassion, understanding, and unity. When we realize that the ‘other’ is merely a reflection of the ‘self’, prejudices and divisions melt away.

To view the world through the lens of Absolute Monism is to appreciate the dance of singularity and multiplicity. It is to find solace in the idea that while we may appear separate, at our core, we are all interconnected fragments of the same cosmic story.

In conclusion, the essence of Absolute Monism serves as a gentle reminder of our shared journey in this vast universe—a universe where singularity is not opposed to multiplicity but is, in fact, its very essence.
