There's a spiritual world past the 1 we know. Past the world we see. Beyond the world we listen to. Beyond the seemingly physical world where we live.
For 1000's of years we were in touch with this particular other spiritual dimension. The planet in which trees spoke their wisdom. We could listen to the gentle voices in the wind. The river spoke to us in subtle tones. Birds would provide us messages via their song. There is a whole world past the 1 which we know.
Within this world there was no separation. For separation did not exist. Connection was all there was. No boundary in between where you ended. And no boundary in between where nature began.
Within this other dimension we had the sense of melting. Melting with nature. For we were everything. At the same time. You were the lizard feeling it is heart quicken next to the rock in the sun. You were the eagle sensing the air push next to it's feathers as it circled on a thermal. And you were the fish feeling the water flow along it's gills in the ocean. No separation.
Yet today we frequently feel that big sense of separation. We no longer really feel we're part of every thing. Maybe we feel we are like a separate drop of h2o floating within the ocean. A drop residing beside other drops of water. Rather than the sense that we're the vastness of the ocean.
This sense of separation is not our natural state. It has been learnt. Youthful kids don't feel separate. As you gaze deep in to the eyes of an infant you will see the connection. They know. Every second they experience this connection. The oneness with all beings. No separation in between themselves and other.
For this really is our all-natural state.
I've dipped in and out of this state numerous occasions. Consciously it initially happened when I was twenty years old. At one stage on my year long 'rite of passage' I spent 2 weeks alone by the ocean in a remote national park. One early morning whilst strolling along a deserted beach I bent down and picked up some moist sand. I spent several minutes taking a look at all the little grains on my finger tip. The various shapes. The various colors. The various textures. Every grain of sand totally different from the next. Each grain a person.
Then I felt the urge to look up at the beach and that is when it occurred. I got to see the entire beach was made up of those separate grains of sand. But the personal grains of sand produced the whole seaside.
In that moment my consciousness expanded. All of a sudden I grew to become a lizard I saw laying beside a bush with the sensation of my metabolism quicken in the sun and my scales rub against each other as I moved. At the same time I was also a sea-eagle over the ocean feeling the wind push against my wings and having the ability to look down with my telescope eyes. And I was also a fish being pushed up and down beyond the breakers feeling the h2o surge along my gills and sense of weightlessness as I swam through the h2o.
In that minute I grew to become every thing all at the same time.
