REALITY

Reality, objective and subjective, is an evolving dynamic network of unique individualities. Everything is deeply connected with everything else.

Staying connected with each other is the optimal means by which each of us can achieve our ultimate purpose of letting each's individuality shine as brightly as is possible.

Each of us is a unique expression of the one common essence. You and I are inextricably and deeply embedded in this ONE reality. Each of us is but a teaspoon of water that emerged from the same waters. Each of us is but a particularly shaped container containing a scoop of this same waters. So it is no wonder that we have so much in common with each other.

ONENESS does not only mean we have a common identity, it also means each of us is especially unique. We are one in the sense that each of us arose from the same source. We are one in the sense that each of us is connected to the ONE source. Yes, we are ONE with the source that we emerged from but we rose up from the ONE by each of us taking our own special historical path. To fulfill our special unique destiny, our purpose in life, we have to experience all that each of us have to offer to each of us in our particular individual way. Your experiences are not a clone of the experiences of others. You take those experiences to express your own personal and unique individuality through it. When you express your unique self through an experience you partake of, you can lay claim to it and make it uniquely yours.

The more you disconnect from the whole unbroken piece of cloth that is reality, the weaker you become as an individuality, and the quicker you become impoverished in body, mind and spirit. A baby is pre-primed ready. The world is pre-primed ready. Ready for what? Ready to experience each other. As the child emerges from the womb he breathes in oxygen deeply. Why was he born with lungs? In the anticipation of air in the world. Why is a baby fish born with gills? In anticipation of a water world. The world pre-primed itself expecting the baby. The baby pre-primed itself expecting to be welcomed into the world. The baby is a new chance for the world to be the best it can be in all possible ways. For the baby the world is an evolving world of continuing new and more exciting experiences. The experiences of the baby in the world and the experiences of the world expressing itself uniquely through the baby are deeply satisfying for both. It is a win win.

A poor innocent babe born with a weak heart became disconnected from the wholeness in one way or the other: a defective gene, exposure to harmful drugs while developing in the womb. Because of the defective genes or congenital poisons, there is a mismatch, a disconnect between it and its world. Its pre-priming is below optimal. The world was pre-primed to receive an optimal heart. Both baby and the world are sadly disappointed by the disconnect. The world has a more difficult time nurturing the baby's heart back to optimal health and weeps for the child. The child falls behind in reaching its mile stones of development. But both the child and the world have much reserves that can be tapped into. The baby and the world can reconnect.

When we reconnect more and more with our world we can recover. When we disconnect more and more we hardly ever make it on our own. To become the best that you can be stay connected. It is good for you and good for the rest of us.
