At a certain point, the urge to behave in certain ways, to seek, desire, do as before, suddenly subsides.
Without our seeking, knowing arises. It dawns the whole universe is only one soul. The trees and the birds and the animals, and all that is living, has a universal soul. Going with it is the flow, guides one to being that flow. First one rides the wave, then one is the wave. True nature is always here but we play hide and seek until ready to find the truth within ourselves. Nothing and everything is as it is.
