We are the same inside. We have the same self in our bodies. If you make fun of someone for how they appear to you on the interior or exterior of themselves and intend to hurt them with what you say, either passively or overtly, when you do, it is as if you are hurting yourself- you are in them. Can you feel or sense what I am telling you? The makeup of our bodies and our conditioning give us our unique personalities, which gives the illusion that we are different. The heart chakra opens to its fullest when you realize what I am telling you. What I am telling you leads you to “love others as yourself” and higher degrees of enlightenment. You are not separate from others. This is our psychological reality.

The Mind’s New Liberation is about people seriously taking the Vow of Honesty for life and witnessing its high vibrational effect on the world. The Vow instantly starts awakening you to our shared Nature. The Vow leads you to accept and love yourself with the “truth setting you free.” There is no dishonesty in the “kingdom-queendom of heaven within you.” I am the first person to advocate taking the Vow of Honesty to quicken your illuminations and eventual higher enlightenment. Honesty rendered me Universal Consciousness, which is the ultimate goal of all religions and traditions. I have never heard anyone describe Universal Consciousness the way I do. I realize that Jesus was leading us to Universal Consciousness (Christians call it Christ Consciousness) when Jesus told us to “Love each other as ourselves.” Humanity awakened in me. Put simply, the Vow will lead you to your core, which is the core of everyone. When you get to your core, you will realize that we are the same inside with different personalities, or what I call lower egos. We are generally the same inside unless we are compromised in some way. I call the Higher ego our Glorious Nature. Our Glorious Nature becomes clearer and clearer to you through the Vow. You merge the two through unwavering honesty internally within yourself and externally to others, with our Glorious Nature predominating; this has traditionally been called Union. Union recognizes or realizes you in sameness with others. The next advance is the  “ultimate frontier.” We get a sense of the frontier when we are quiet. How could you not love others when you know we are the same inside? Unwavering honesty takes you on the “magic carpet ride” that awakens you to the love of others as yourself.

Sri Ramakrishna says, “Whoever is conscious of light is also conscious of darkness.” It is a universal statement (we are the same inside) that means once the Vow of Honesty awakens you to divine consciousness, you will be tuned, as if you are a musical instrument, to instantly be able to tell if what you are perceiving is good (Light), bad (dark) or somewhere in between.

Sri Ramakrishna says, “Think of a vast ocean filled with water on all sides. A jar is immersed in it. There is water both inside and outside the jar, but the water does not become one unless the jar is broken. It is God who has kept the ‘jar of the ego’ in me.” It is a universal statement that means, as the Vow of Honesty refines you or breaks the jar for most of your ego, that is, after you have lost most of your ego with awakened divine consciousness taking over in you, you will be able to perceive or know and see that others are the same as you inside (same water) with the same struggles you had before you awakened and refined yourself; this is SELF-OTHER-REALIZATION. You merge with our shared consciousness in everyone because we are the same inside; the veil has been removed through refining. The veil was tricking you into thinking you were different and separate from others.
