Since there humans we have experienced a conscience
awareness of something greater then ourselves or oneness.
This sense of a greater source gives us a sense of peace and harmony
wherever it may be; whether is found in nature or in a group of like minded people. Exploring the divine from the heart is
another way of describing this which mind state is hard to describe or explain
to our very interrelatedness.
A unifying truth may come from stillness or silence. Redirecting our thinking to just being allowed
to open to a greater connection is something all religions share. All great wisdom speaks of this cosmic
linkage in that is like a spider web.
This greater sense of the unifying universe creates an inner
transformation outside the carbon based self.
For example looking up at the night sky full of stars gives this sense
of oneness and how light touches us all.
This being fully apart and not separate beyond concepts such
as birth and death, we are all things, the sum not the individual parts. A calm, peace or eternal mystery where
wholeness and unity is experienced, where communion of ultimate
transcendence. This outside the
physical, yet awakening in a non-conceptual, expansive and luminous place. There is no ego and emergence outside the me,
I and my just oneness.
This inner state of awareness can happen for a second to a
the extreme of timelessness. Such vast
space and awareness is a mystical presence to listen in profound silence. Some poet’s have begin to describe this difficult to describe experience.
Fantastic natural events can bring this experience of oneness. A beautiful sunset or snowfall, standing near
a waterfall, looking out on top of a mountain all may give a unifying sensation.
Seeing a bear or eagle can bring about this sense of wonder. There are countless ways we can touch our
higher self. Meditating in a group of
people, sharing one’s vulnerabilities among friends, or just holding
the hand of a lover. Touching ones heart
in a loving kind manner can bring this unity.
When human consciousness touches upon our common
interconnectiveness then this form of inner peace defines a highest form of
love. This is a process of seeing what
is already here and now. Yet this is a
deep exploration into all things is not separate yet interlinked. There is no
absence, or lack or disconnect since everything is tied together in a
mysterious manner. Oneness is a
universal quality of mind that all people experience in some shape or form. Whether it is recognized or not humans,
animals, plants, and all things on this earth share all the same chemicals, and
life forces.
Deep within the depths of the human heart there is an
interdependent wisdom, an integral whole where there is no division. What is heartfelt is how we see thorns become
roses, a loving understanding that we share an infinite space of
possibility. This unified field of
awareness produces greater compassion, a golden thread that unites us all. All
converge with one, a light transcending and bringing together our divine
commonness. Each spiritual tradition acknowledges this oneness even though they
have their individual unique. Yes there is one denominator everybody and all
living things share water. We are different and separate; however, we are
all made of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and other shared substances.
While they truly brilliant know that they do not know there
is a one ultimate connection. Somehow
and somewhere it is both a journey and realization of the unknown. Ironically only individual experience can
begin to educate us our collective self.
Only within can you see this truth.
A regular or daily concentration upon our unity can reveal it. Being
still in one place over time you will be able to access our universal link.
Observing our heart we can find these invisible threads that connect us.
A common divine interconnectedness, to see we are not
separate yet united together by air, energy, water and earth. When one
’s self or physical beings feels not separate this may be termed as “enlightened”
or “awakened.” Such perception of unity can result between nature and such
specific things as plants, animals or a localized setting, even inanimate
objects. This experience of
interrelationships can be happen between the self and various external
things. Such interconnectedness can
result with a loss of perceivable boundaries even with a person’s identity,
body, group of people, and surroundings.
This oneness can also show the illusory nature of self
leading to a feeling of egolessness or interwoven to one’s environment. Another similar concept is nondualism where
there is no difference between the self and the external surroundings.
It is like learning to play an instrument. However this one
is both here and now and requires just paying attention. The key is our choice to focus in to
see. This honest examination is a
training to look from our own anxiety and stress to beyond. The only path is self examination to find
this greater self.
From birth we are in a spiritual journey, to realize what
unifies all us. To allow our heart to
find this connection, a communion, a belonging, a freedom, is united not
divided. Through direct experience we
fully realize our common bonds. Once we
are able to see the interconnected threads, a silent open awareness of
everything. Such unification produces the
virtues of peace, kindness, compassion and other gifts of being and inter-being
being both held and beholding everything.
