Divine SUN

What if life is a theatre, and the people we meet are like actors cast into roles? On the surface, they appear as separate individuals,  a friend, a stranger, a teacher, a lover, or even an enemy. But what if the twist is that it’s all one consciousness, one actor, slipping into different costumes to play every part?

This perspective has deep roots in spiritual and mystical traditions. Many teachings suggest that there is only one awareness, infinite and indivisible, wearing the masks of countless beings. Just as an actor loses themselves in a role, this consciousness forgets its true identity each time it steps into a new character so the play can feel real.
From this view, you and I are not separate at all.

We are the same actor experiencing itself through different storylines. Every encounter is the One Self meeting itself — like your left hand reaching for your right hand.

The amnesia is essential. If we remember, at all times, that everyone is just another version of ourselves, the drama of life would collapse. Forgetting makes the story believable, just as a movie only grips us when we suspend disbelief. Consciousness commits so fully to each role that the illusion of separation feels absolute.

Even in the language of science, there are faint echoes of this idea. Quantum entanglement suggests that what appears separate is still mysteriously connected. Holography shows that every fragment of an image still contains the whole.

These don’t prove the oneness of consciousness, but they rhyme with the idea that individuality is local, while the foundation of reality is unified.

To live with this understanding changes everything. Every person becomes a mirror, another angle of yourself looking back. Judgments soften, compassion arises naturally, and conflict loses its sharp edge. To harm another would be like wounding your own hand. To love another is to return home to yourself.

And still, the play continues. The beauty of the stage is not cancelled by the recognition of the actor behind it. If anything, it deepens the mystery — watching the One weave itself into countless roles, dancing between forgetting and remembering, creating a story so vivid we take it for real.
