Have you found yourself? So many people
searching for self fulfillment out there. So many lost souls,
wandering the planet, looking for something that doesn't exist,
seeking answers that don't exist. Unfortunately, by doing so, we may
never find that inner peace path. Why? Because... wait for it.
There is no self.
Or at least, not the way we humans
define it. You see, we are all one entity. All the flora and fauna
found on this planet, possibly in the universe are inexorably
connected by a common energy. Therefore, we will never find ourselves
by connecting with our self. We are a finely tuned machine made up
of many components, all working together to create our reality, our
whole.
We are not meant to be independent. And
it's a beautiful thing.
Or it should be. Without the
human ego, it would be. With the human ego, we, as humans
spend 99% of our time trying to place ourselves either above, below
or isolated from the whole, manipulating the machine to suit our own
selfish needs. We have a desperate need to know who we are because
somewhere along the way, we have lost sight of the big picture.
Surprise. The needs of the many really
do outweigh the needs of the few. Our refusal to stop feeding our own
self interests, not only clouds our judgment, it's killing us.
Because the further away from our interconnection we move, in pursuit
of self, the more out of sync our “machine” becomes.
At the same time, we are also creating
many false societies that work directly against the natural machine
that is us. This complicates the matter of connecting with others who
are caught up in the illusion. And if we cannot connect with each
other in the way we were naturally intended, the magic can never
happen.
We may never find ourselves because we
keep looking for a definitive individual with definitive traits when
we should be seeking a connection with the collective whole. And we
do connect, sometimes. Problem is, we are finding human created
collectives to belong to, rather than the natural collective which is
designed to nourish, sustain and preserve us.
Those false collectives have another
issue in common. They are made up of only human life. The natural
collective doesn't just contain human life. It contains all life.
Vegetation, sentient beings of all kinds and all natural matter, air,
water, etc. Earth and all its' elements and inhabitants working
together, each of us a piece of an intricate, balanced system is who
we are.
The other issue is that right here and
now, many of those components, human and otherwise are unhealthy.
Others who served vital roles in sustaining all have simply gone
extinct. When a part of a machine goes bad, the whole machine stops
functioning properly. If too many parts are missing or malfuntioning,
the fate of our natural “machine” AKA ecosystem is bleak.
So, what can we do? Well, a good start
would be to begin mending those lost connections, then repairing the
broken and replacing missing parts with others that serve to
duplicate their function. This used to be a process that “mother
nature” could handle on her own. However, at this point in time,
she needs a little help. We humans have to let go of self and start
living selfless as we were intended to. Otherwise, their may be
nothing left of our selves to find.
