Dear Sticky Note Pad,
I love you. I care about you deeply. I want all the best for you. And most of all, I feel a DEEP sense of connection with you. I feel like we are one, you and I. Thank you for allowing me to keep track of my many homework assignments. Thank you for existing, although you had no say in the matter. Although you cannot think, I love you just the same.
Sincerely, Truly, and With Love,
Matt
Ludicrous?
Ridiculous?
Implausable?
Oneness.
Oneness?
What's that?
Everything is one. Everyone is one thing. We are all connected. The concept of a separate entity is completley enclosed, in our mind. To see the truth of this, let's take an objective entity, like my sticky note pad. What does the concept of separateness do to affect this entity? Nothing. Physics affect this entity, cause and effect effect this entity... separateness does not, because it's not based in reality. The sticky note is not a separate entity from the rest of the universe... the universe is one interconnected entity.
By this same token, connection is completely in your mind as well. There is this false concept of somebody I label "mom". I feel I have connection with this false concept, more than any other false "entities" that I can think of. This is not to take away from the uniqueness of this false entity, but merely from her seperateness. She may be different from all these other entities I call "people", but the truth of the matter is that just as the sticky note pad is only a sticky note pad because I call it such, and is not really seperate frommy desk or my chair or the ocean in regards to the laws of cause and effect, all these people are effected by every other one, and to view them as seperate is to live in a fiction. So the "personal connection" thing doesn't really make any sense... it's not tangible, it just springs from my mind because my mind views the "mom" entity grouping of ever changing atoms as different from all the other ever changing groups of atoms.
So, if personal connection is a fiction... that means we should not connect? No, it simply means that we shouldn't discriminate with our connection. To the extent that we love ourselves, we should love "everyone" and "everything" that we come into contact with... simply because it's all the same.
Doesn't matter who they are individually... they're just part of the larger whole. Understand that you've had a more drastic on every single person you meet than you're aware of... because as a part of the whole everything effects everything. This isn't some spiritual fallacy or some idealistic idea that would be cool if it was true... this is chaos theory, plain and simple. The smallest actions can have effects FAR beyond what a single person could imagine.
So if everybody effects everyone and we're ALL the same... that means in a sense we're all already connected. From the moment we're born we've been making waves throughout the universe. Changing the weather, making people happy, causing a landslide... in places we've never been affecting people we've never met. Oneness is the realization that becaues we're all inherently connected... you should act that way. This is more than assuming that you're going to connect with somebody when you meet them... it's actually FEELING a deep connection with them before you've ever met.
When people feel this incredible connection with them that you are projecting... their mind then projects the same incredible connection back onto you. Complete strangers will open up their deepest secrets in only ten minutes. Girls afraid of being judged will disclose their sexual fantasies, tough guys will reveal their insecurities. Building a connection becomes redundant to a very large extent... you're already connected. Imagine what affect this would have on a cold approach, the feeling that you're ALREADY connected.
It's astounding.
Try it.

Yep, you are spot on my friend. Last night I got even closer to sleeping with that guy because I feel like I can be completely transparent with him, it feels like there is no barrier there. I feel accepted, he feels accepted, we can say anything and it's ok. It feels so amazingly relaxing. In the middle of the night, for the first time in years, I felt turned on with no interference (ifs, ands, or buts). I just wanted him to be inside me.
ReplyDeleteCheers on another great post.

You are clearly an intelligent fellow, capable of inspiring profound thoughs in your readers and giving us an insight into our universe, I thank you for your warm virtual embrace and recipricate. I think your outlook, if generally accepted by the world, can only give rise to positive evolution of our species and conciousness.
ReplyDeleteI would like to add that personally I hold my loved ones more prescious than the rest of the universe, my blood especially. It is undeniable for me, but I understand the concept you explore here.
On another hazey thought I would like to say that we live our lives alone. While we exist here as part of an over-all oneness(explicable on many scientific/philosophical fronts) the challenge of this life is to come to terms with our singularity, our own personal journey. As you have eluded to in your piece, we are all unique and follow unique paths, each choice we make can only be made from an individual perspective. Hence, I chose to respond and someone else to read.
I suppose we will be judged by our affect on the rest of the 'oneness' on our passing. Our affect is indeed greater than we imagine.
I am still on my journey, and by chance today I cross a trail left by another which teaches me more about myself...
Congratulations on your work again.

Hi David, Thank you for the well stated and thoroughly thought provoking comment :).
