I got a phone-call yesterday from a friend. She was crying. For the 4th time she thought she had found her man, and also this one turned out to be married. I can only hope she bounces back. Every-time it takes her months to get over it.
Are we millions of physical expressions of The All? Are we, in actuality, one being – contrary to the apparency of differences? More and more frequently, references can be found that explore this interconnectedness and attest to it. The numbers of people waking up to this can be compared to drops of water in a swelling wave, or to miniscule springtime sprouts rising up to become an expanse of meadow. Whereas a short time ago a minority called “flower children” and then “new-agers” perceived our interconnectedness, an enormous cross section of earth’s people now recognise this about our true nature.
How, then, can we be enemies? How can we mistreat one another, or even consider for a moment bringing harm to one person, much less to a nation, an entire people, or to our planet home? For in so inflicting harm, we do so to our self, to The All.
With this understanding comes profound comprehension of the Buddhist bodhisattva vow – “I vow to attain full enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings.” This brings the now-trite-sounding phrase “we’re all in this together” up a few octaves: “We’re present in our natural state of collective consciousness.” Fundamentally there are no differences between us.
Collectiveness positive thinking is an underestimated force. I mean what they do in the field is great and should be done by more people, but IMHO it should be + +
