If life is not simple, then it is born of ignorance. Complexity arises  from ignorance and simplicity arises from awareness. Complexity issues forth from separation and tends towards more separation as the complexity grows. Simplicity grows as connection grows and the result is more simplicity. Simplicity expands awareness and awareness provides more simplicity. This is true expansion and is the way of the universe.

If you think that it is the other way around and continue to think more; thinking again, along the same lines in complexity, will not get you anywhere, but further from this truth. Just simplify and leave complexity behind and expansion is the inevitable outcome. Simplicity moves towards Unity and One is the simplest of all that can be conceived and is the All that is beyond further perception. Simplicity brings a lessening of what is not One thus reducing complexity. And the Truth is that simplicity allows you to see more by knowing what is less  and allowing a return to our natural state of being: It is the path to Unity the expansion of our return to the Divine. It is the removal of the endless concepts of limitation that complexity has created and a return to the limitlessness of our Source.

Complexity of life is always away from Source and away from our true beginning. Simplicity ends our self-created convolutions and returns us to a state of Co-creation with All. Simplicity comes from a movement not a thought. It is a single step impulsed in the direction of our Source that is everywhere: Know the simplicity of that.

Certainly, one may see the irony in the fact that individuality (the false ego) has led to more and more complexity and that simplicity leads more and more to the true Oneness of all that is: Yet, this is the way that it is. And, in the end, what could be simpler than a return to the Infinite First.
