Integration

(See: The Spiritual Wanderer's Journey Overview)

The yin yang, the mandala, the circle, and the ouroboros (snake eating its tail) are all symbols of integration, which represents both the end and the beginning of the spiritual wanderer's journey.

Perhaps the best way to summarize this part of the pathless path is that it’s about seeing the underlying unity of the light/dark, human/divine, and inner/outer aspects of our existence.

Integration is non-dual in nature, so it involves seeing the inherent Oneness and Interconnectedness present in all things and as all things, while at the same time living a subjective, flawed, and imperfect human life – and embracing both. We recognize that we are both human and Divine, Spirit and flesh.

Through Divine grace (and not through any effort of the ego), we come to see through the illusion of the separate self and egoic story of "me," which is at the root of our suffering, and we come home to our True Nature – which can only ever be found right here, right Now!
