Here is a post excerpt I wrote for Pinay.com:
Deep inter-connectedness is experienced not by sight, sound and physical touch alone, it goes beyond the realm of the material world.
- We are indeed connected to all things in Creation, for our sun, planetary system, the Earth and our very physical bodies are made from stardust, and we are kin and kapwa to every molecule, atom or particle of dark matter that exists in the galaxies and Universes.
Pakikipagkapwa or sacred interconnection and a kapwa awareness and practice, can be a life-enriching practice that heals your heart, heals friendships, relationships, families, communities, and even nations and the world.
Connect to a bigger picture.
Stretch your mind and perceive a connection to the cosmos itself.
“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the ‘Universe’ —a part limited in time & space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, & feelings, as something separated from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires & to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures & the whole of nature in its beauty.”—Albert Einstein
Stretch your mind even more and perceive a connection to the cosmos itself, and to things that go beyond the sliver of time we exist in… we are connected to things beyond the 4-dimensional pinpoint of time and space…
It is a connection elegance and simplicity that has to do by our mere existence in the Universe… the connection that has to do with how our very consciousness within bodies that don’t just come from the Earth’s atoms, but that come from Universes born within vast expanses of space and time.
