Connecting With the World
by Ra-Harakhte
Since we get so entrhalled with everyday living, it can become easy to lose the knowledge and feeling of connection to the world around us. Without this connection, we can lose a valuable part of ourselves and our sense of security. The energy of the world being a part of us, and us of the world is a magnificent blanket of peace and serenity. It is empowering and can make you feel at ease. So how do we obtain this Oneness?
That energy, broken down, is molecules and atoms and the Force inherent within them. Everything is made up of them, and cannot physically exist without them. Even the air you breathe. The universe is a giant tapestry woven of these elements. Again, the only separation between the strands is the perception of the eyes, not the spirit.
First, with the simple knowledge of your own connection to it. Since everything came from the same source and is made of the same energy, the realization and understanding of Oneness is clear. Only the perceoption of separateness as given us by our eyes makes us believe we are distinct and unattached to all else. But then again, a magician can make you believe a rabbit did live in that hat and that he did saw that girl in half. Again, it is all illusion.
Everything in the universe is connected by the energy that binds it.
To connect to that energy, take a look around. Look at the walls around you, the floor beneath your feet. Realize that each is a mosaic of molecules which hold it together. Now notice the obvious: You are touching the floor with your feet, your computer keyboard with your hands. Realize that this connection is molecule to molecule. Now in your mind, connect the two. Press your hands and feet harder onto their surfaces. Feel the keyboard become a part of you and you a part of it. Bring it into you. Feel the intensity of energy connecting between you and the objects around you. Feel your spirit pass through them. Feel them pass through you. Notice, too, the difference of "personality" each thing gives you. The keyboard gives you a different feeling than the floor, but yet it is still the same energy.
If it does not come that easy, close your eyes and imagine it happending. Keep your hands on the keyboard, feet on the floor, then in your mind, imagine the molecules of your body wrapping themselves within the molecules of the keyboard and floor. Steady your breathing and let yourself relax. As your mind focuses on the image, you will begin to feel the presence of static within your feet and hands. This is the energy of the object and you have connected.
Upon the success of this experiment, you may want to do it again. I recommend doing it at least once a day. Eventually you will get to where you will not even need to physically touch the objects you want to connect with. You will be able to look at the walls around you and inherently feel their energy. You will be able to look out the window and feel the coolness of the air, the scent of the exhaust from the city.
Congratulations.
You have connected to the world and the world to you. Now realize that connection goes unto the universe itself.
