- Here is another insight where I feel strongly disconnected of what is mainly thought: we exist only in connection.
- This is true in a very material way of looking: the air that we breathe, the food that we eat, the environment we use for making the stuff that we need.
- But also at an interpersonal level: some days I hardly see people of interact with them. I start to feel funny. And if I extrapolate that experience, I reach a state in which I do not exist any more. Interaction with other people is so important for our existence. We are because we relate.
- And this relating is quite a warm sensation. We feel for the other person. We feel for other animals. We feel for mother earth, for nature. We exist in this feeling of connection.
- And finally if you look at the bigger picture. There was a time when I did not exist yet. It is because my parents found each other and in my case consciously decided they wanted to have a child. So from the matter around my parents, my mom got pregnant and gave birth. And also one day I will cease to exist. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. I am just this matter in which life started to exist. I am finite. There was a time when I did not exist, there will be a time when I will not exist. The matter around me but also all the personal and energetic around me, is from which I come, in which I am.
