We are part of the Whole

There is that within us which knows. It is a part of the Whole, a piece of the hologram of Life that like every hologram, contains the awareness of the Whole. And what the Whole knows, the parts know. We are part of the Whole, the Universe entire, all of space and time. The universe, time and space and the Whole are working through us right now, whether we know it or not, just as the laws of science work, whether we believe in them or not.

We will experience more peace, joy and love while contributing to a world that works for everyone and everything, if we consciously work with the Whole. We tend not to want to do this, though, and rope off a part of all that is, give it a name, personality, address, SSN, thus limiting our awareness of and cooperation with the Whole.

But every once in awhile, we get an inkling of the Whole, sense that we are part of something greater, something benign and loving, even in the midst of natural and man-made disasters. But just as we do with everything, we cut the Whole down to size to fit our egos, limiting our awareness of belonging and greatness and label it God, or Allah, or Elohim, or Jesus, or Vishnu, and use the labels to divide us. But no matter the label, we know there is that within us which knows.

If we can identify with that greater Wholeness, connect with it and work from that place, instead of from our tiny egos, not only will we experience more peace, joy and love, we will also know what to do to build a world that works for everyone and everything, and how to deal with the crisises in Japan, Libya and with our own fiscal and democratic systems.
