Blogs > Within and Inside

This blog is one about symbiosis. Its purpose is to help those out there going through hard times to find solace within. Through the act of questioning our society’s issues and dilemmas, as well as comparing large scale problems to personal ones, we can find a better understanding as who we truly are and how we truly operate. Once we have a firm understanding to this inner dimension our problems will seem less problematic.   This is, perhaps, the grandest of all goals.

Disconnected

A physicist once said to me "I've seen particles bounce in and out of our dimension. But I don't know how we are all one." The look on his face was that of a man who felt alone and isolated. He seemed distant and lost. At that moment I wondered how a man so intelligent could feel so disconnected from the world. We are as separate from each other as our cells are separate from the rest of our body. And if you only pay attention to the outer shell and concept of who you are, you will not feel your connection with the rest of the world.

Disconnecting ourselves within our mind can lead to a feeling of disparity, loneliness and ultimately depression. Sometimes humans feel that knowing how the world works will solve the problems of humanity. They may even feel that what they see takes them a level higher than their fellow humans, but it does not. We are all connected in ways our mind cannot fully understand. Seeing and knowing is wonderful, even helpful, but to complete the experience we must go deeper, we must feel within and become aware of the world without the need to label it.

well put marquis. some, including myself tend to get so bogged down in learning or life in general that they forget to just be. to feel the wonders of the world, and not meaning the 7 wonders :), but instead the little things, aware of your breathing, the clouds, the flowers,the living life in others, all without labels or preconceved notions. sometime you have to just close the book and just be
Namaste

so true. with separation comes loneliness, with loneliness, comes depression... don't we live in a world of separatism and labelling? maybe it's time to change a few things...
